Buried Fossil Soils From Long Before Industrialization Are Deep In Carbon
2014-05-26 11:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science 2.0: Soil from thousands of years ago that is now deeply buried has been found to be rich in carbon, adding a new dimension to figuring out the planet's carbon cycle. The element carbon comes in many forms and cycles through the environment land, sea and atmosphere just as water in various forms cycles through the ground, oceans and the air. Scientists have long known about the carbon storage capacity of soils, the potential for carbon sequestration, and that carbon in soil can be released to the...
Agriculture, Mining Releases Carbon Trapped in Ancient Soils, Researchers Say
2014-05-26 11:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers said that ancient soils store large amounts of trapped carbon. The carbon from this soil, which is now being released due to erosion, agriculture and mining could contribute to climate change, researchers said. "There is a lot of carbon at depths where nobody is measuring," said Erika Marin-Spiotta, a University of Wisconsin-Madison assistant professor of geography and the lead author of the new study. "It was assumed that there was little carbon...

Impact of Ponding, Saturated Soils on Corn
2013-07-13 04:11:00| Corn & Soybean Digest
Source: Ohio State University Persistent rains during the past two weeks have resulted in ponding and saturated soils in many corn fields and led to questions concerning what impact these conditions will have on corn performance. The extent to which ponding injures corn is determined by several factors including: plant stage of development when ponding occurs, duration of ponding and air/soil temperatures. read more
