Finding the Real Potential of No-Till Farming for Sequestering Carbon

Tuesday, May 6, 2008 - 12:35 in Earth & Climate

Researchers investigated the potential of no-tillage agricultural soils for increasing the soil organic carbon pool. The results of the study revealed that no till farming impacts on soil carbon sequestration depended on soil type and sampling depth, with greater sequestration evident only in surface (0-10 cm) no till soils.
