Burying wood debris “is the most effective and the least expensive, and possibly the most sustainable way to capture carbon” as I opinionated in Cornell Chronicle. This CO2 removal strategy makes it hopeful to control warming at 2 oC or below if adopted. https://t.co/g6DukQNVLX

Soil as a solution to climate change? At #ESA2024 we have the privilege to invite experts from empirical, modeling, and big data domains to share their insights into soil inorganic and organic carbon cycle.

[Feng Tao 陶鳳 @phxtao]

Cuijuan Liao, Yuanhe Yang, & Jose Manuel Murua Royo (on behalf of @LucianaChavezR1) presented their intriguing work on depth dependent vulnerability of SOC to warming, roles of microbes in temp. sensitivity of SOM decomposition, and fusing omics data into trait-based modeling
