Climate change is a pressing global concern, and soil carbon sequestration has been touted as a promising solution. However, a recent study by researchers at Yale University and the Environmental Defense Fund argues that the scientific evidence supporting soil carbon's role in mitigating climate change remains too weak
Global warming
Researchers at Gansu Agricultural University in Lanzhou, China, have conducted a study on the effects of combining organic and inorganic fertilizers on soil organic carbon and greenhouse gas emissions. The study found that applying a 6:4 ratio of organic to inorganic fertilizer resulted in a 25.6% reduction in
Global warming
Climate change is exacerbating the issue of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in soil, which can have devastating consequences for global health and the environment. Research from the University of Southampton suggests that the spread of antimicrobial compounds and resistant microbes can accelerate due to climate change and human activities, leading to
Global warming
A new study published in Land Degradation & Development has shed light on the impact of technological innovation on water stress in developed and developing economies. Using a large panel dataset covering 85 countries from 2001 to 2022, researchers at Qilu Normal University employed the Method of Moments Quantile Regression
Global warming
Climate change is accelerating the dynamics of Earth's soil, particularly in terms of soil organic carbon storage and loss. A recent study published in Biogeochemistry has evaluated the influence of temperature and substrate availability on soil C cycling in a nutrient-poor subtropical forest. The research aimed to understand
