The Role of Soils and Trees in Removing CO2
Removing CO2 from the air by taking advantage of natural processes can be highly efficient and have multiple benefits, but is just beginning to be examined from a fully scientific perspective. What progress is being made in using nature to help solve the climate crisis? What limits these approaches today, and how can those limits be overcome?
