New imaging method views soil carbon at near-atomic scales
The Earth’s soils contain more than three times the amount of carbon than is found in the atmosphere, but the processes that bind carbon in the soil are still not well understood.
A new study describes a method for imaging the physical and chemical interactions that sequester carbon in soil at near atomic scales, with some surprising results.
It also showed that nitrogen was an important player for facilitating the chemical interactions between both organic and mineral interfaces.
As a result, farmers may improve soil health and mitigate climate change through carbon sequestration by considering the form of nitrogen in soil amendments.
The study was published Nov. 30 in Nature Communications.
