A study published this week in mSystems suggests the connection can drag across decades.

The findings come from an analysis of the rates of change of carbon in soil by scientists at Rothamsted Research where samples have been collected from fields since 1843. They are published today in Global Change Biology. The idea of using crops to collect more atmospheric carbon and locking it into soil's organic matter to […]
