A good understanding of soil carbon sequestration, and how to enhance it, is an important part of greenhouse gas removal efforts. In a new article for illuminem, Dr Dan Evans, a member of the Greenhouse Gas Removal Future Leaders Network, explains why we need a transdisciplinary approach to understand what soil can do.
Delighted to have written the inaugural Thought Leadership article for the Greenhouse Gas Removal Future Leaders Network, and their new partnership with illuminem - one of the world's leading sustainability information & data platforms. My article (only an eight-min read ⏲️) looks at the "known unknowns" in our understanding of #soil #carbon #sequestration as a #GGR strategy!

2moMuch more is now known about the period of climate cycles, the interaction of the carbon & hydrological cycles, the increasing age of the CO2 with increasing ocean depth up to 15k yo in the abyssal regions, the role of ocean & air currents. Then there's the news that these systems are governed by non-equilibrium thermodynamics which uses totally different math to that used in the 1990s equilibrium TD models. Hmmm! New sources of CO2 & O2 have been discovered and there is a resurgence in the idea that a great portion of global warming after significant cold periods arises from natural cycles! Go figure!
