Unfortunately, it is not uncommon to see acidic soils poor in humus and organic matter. Therefore, it is high time to reconsider the earth as the fundamental link
Carbon storage in soils responds to a double emergency: increasing agricultural productivity and combating climate change. An annual growth rate of 0.4% of carbon stocks in the first 30-40 centimeters of soil would significantly reduce the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere linked to human activities. It was with the aim of transferring more carbon to
It is possible to clean up soils and water through biological processes. This is called bioremediation. Soils are the support for the development of plants and microorganisms that feed on carbon chains of all origins, organic but also (and it is less known) of treatments derived from chemistry such as hydrocarbons. It is therefore by
