Soils Cannot Lock Away Black Carbon
2013-04-26 19:21:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scientific American: Climate scientists may have to rethink some of their old assumptions about carbon. US and European researchers have just established that black carbon, soot and biochar -- the burnt remains from countless forest fires -- doesn't stay in the soil indefinitely. Around 27 million tons of the stuff gets dissolved in water and washed down the rivers into the oceans each year. Black carbon or biochar has been hailed as one possible way of limiting greenhouse gas emissions, by taking carbon out of...

Soils in new forest could help offset climate change
2013-04-06 05:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceBlog: Surface appearances can be so misleading: In most forests, the amount of carbon held in soils is substantially greater than the amount contained in the trees themselves. If you`re a land manager trying to assess the potential of forests to offset carbon emissions and climate change by soaking up atmospheric carbon and storing it, what`s going on beneath the surface is critical. But while scientists can precisely measure and predict the amount of above-ground carbon accumulating in a forest,...
