In the same way that we have to stabilise SOC, not just sequester it, we also have to optimise porosity, not just build aggregates.

As ever, @IntegratedSoils captivating at #GW19 on N sharing. Legumes with lateral (white clover) rather than tap roots (Lucerne) are better at N sharing, but they fix less. Receiving plants with fibrous roots (ryegrass) more effective at capturing. Grazing also releases N 👍☘️

Climate change being fuelled by soil damage

Gives a decent overview
There are however many more pathways for soil carbon formation than "soil carbon stored by worms taking leaf matter underground"

They do all involve plants grabbing carbon from the air

Thought provoking read: @feedbackorg label sugar beet 'poster crop' for soil degradation, with 300,000 tonnes topsoil loss/harvest. Achieving government's dietary target requires average 2/3 sugar reduction. Obesity-related illness cost NHS £6.1bn 2014-15.
Time to join the dots?
