When farmland is returned to the wild, it shows a striking ability to hold onto the carbon that built up in farm soils over time, retaining this stock for 30 years or more, a unique, long-term study ...

Deep in Harvard Forest in central Massachusetts, researchers have been running a controlled warming experiment for 37 years.

Heating alone won’t drive soil microbes to release more carbon dioxide — they need added carbon and nutrients to thrive. This finding challenges assumptions about how climate warming influences soil ...

Ecopetrol (NYSE: EC) is trialing an innovative use for petroleum coke, a carbon-rich refining byproduct, to enhance soil fertility in forest ecosystems as part of its broader decarbonization and ...

Local ranchers are hoping a soil health experiment will reveal clues about how they can better manage their land under dry conditions as the Colorado River basin continues to struggle under the ...

A Brazilian researcher is working with Mexican farmers to test soils using biochar: a carbon-rich material showing promise in increasing water retention and fertility. Biochar is a porous, solid ...

Malawi’s increasingly unpredictable rainfall and higher than usual temperatures are causing problems for smallholder farmers. Soil erosion has increased, causing soil fertility and water availability ...
