How Adding Crop Residue to Poor Soils Can Help Increase Carbon Storage
In a recent study published in the journal Nature Communications, scientists have identified a new way to increase the amount of carbon stored in poor soils. Scientists discovered that leaving crop residue on the soil after harvests could significantly increase the amount of organic matter and carbon stored in the soil. The organic matter and carbon act as a buffer against climate change by helping to sequester more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This is an important discovery as it could help farmers to better manage their soils and protect them from the effects of climate change.
