===== Agricultural liming in the US is a large CO₂ sink, say researchers ===== | |||

The team, from the Yale Center for Natural Carbon Capture at Yale University, show that the addition of acidity, in the form of atmospheric pollution and fertilizers, is the main driver for CO2 emissions from soils. By calculating emissions based on acid inputs, they show how emissions may be being underestimated in some cases, and the potential for lime to reduce emissions is being overlooked. | |||
===== Fig trees convert atmospheric CO₂ to stone, research reveals ===== | |||

Some species of fig trees store calcium carbonate in their trunks—essentially turning themselves (partially) into stone, new research has found. The team of Kenyan, U.S., Austrian, and Swiss scientists found that the trees could draw carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and store it as calcium carbonate 'rocks' in the surrounding soil. | |||
