Altered soil may help fight global warming
2014-08-04 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Albuquerque Journal: A New Mexico State University scientist`s work in carbon sequestration at Leyendecker Plant Science Center is getting attention -- not just in New Mexico, but also in Austria and Australia. His work suggests a solution for dealing with carbon dioxide-related problems causing global warming. The nearly seven billion people on earth have a collective carbon footprint more than 30.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide per year, from energy usage alone. If reducing this footprint will return the planet...

Climate warming may not drive net losses soil carbon from tropical forests
2014-07-28 22:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: The planet's soil releases about 60 billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere each year, which is far more than that released by burning fossil fuels. This happens through a process called soil respiration. This enormous release of carbon is balanced by carbon coming into the soil system from falling leaves and other plant matter, as well as by the underground activities of plant roots. Short-term warming studies have documented that rising temperatures increase the rate of soil respiration. As...
