However, to calculate the carbon sink and biodiversity opportunities associated with shifting cropland use in the U.S., the authors of the GFI report significantly limited the scope of their analysis.

Pep Canadell, the executive director of the Global Carbon Project and one of the coauthors of the study, said the analysis suggests that the land carbon sink in the Unites States may have been ...

Some farmers in the U.S. are taking on climate change by trying to sink the air’s carbon in the ground ... They’re not actively trying to sequester carbon. Nationally, only 4% of U.S. cropland ...

Climate 'spiral' threatens land carbon stores Date: February 22, 2023 Source: University of Reading Summary: The world's forests are losing their ability to absorb carbon due to increasingly ...

Declining snow accumulation in the mountains of the Northeastern U.S. will likely reduce the ability of forests to act as a ...

New research from Michigan State University, led by agricultural systems scientist Bruno Basso, addresses a major problem in agricultural carbon markets: how to set an accurate starting point, or ...

Amazingly, forests are still sucking up as much carbon as they were 30 years ago. But there’s a catch. Besieged by logging, fires, and pests, this global balancing act might not last long.

New research shows turning forests and grasslands into cropland drastically cuts soil carbon storage. This converts carbon-absorbing land into emitters, impacting climate. Our land management choices ...

Government incentives were aimed at greenhouse gases, but corn sprawl set off major emissions, UW-Madison research suggests.
