New review paper: Climate mitigation through soil amendments: quantification, evidence, and uncertainty. @rachelLrubin @eeoldfield @JM_Lavallee tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Climate mitigation through soil amendments: quantification, evidence, and uncertainty

Soil amendments are a broad class of materials that enhance physical, chemical or biological characteristics in croplands, pastures, or rangelands. While organic soil amendments such as manure, mul...

Landfills generate one-third of all methane emissions in the U.S., partly because food scraps—the most commonly disposed of item—decompose in the piles. Research led by @whendeesilver suggests composting could reduce landfill emissions by up to 84 percent. grist.org/food/food-waste-pr…

A simple way to prevent heaps of methane pollution: Composting

Landfills spew millions of tons of methane. A new study says composting could slash their emissions by as much as 84 percent.

Check out our new paper in Nature Communications! nature.com/articles/s41467-0… I collected four years of continuous GHG fluxes to quantify importance hot moments of N2O emissions from continuous alfalfa agriculture. < 1% of measurements accounted for up to 57% of annual emissions!

Carbon-sink potential of continuous alfalfa agriculture lowered by short-term nitrous oxide...

Nature Communications - Long-term continuous greenhouse gas measurements in alfalfa cropland showed that the magnitude of the carbon sink was significantly offset by large nitrous oxide (N2O)...

Congrats Dr. Maya Almaraz -new paper on N gas fluxes from tropical forests: eos.org/research-spotlights/…

How Much Greenhouse Gas Do Tropical Soils Emit? - Eos

New research found that tropical soils emit nitrogen mostly as inert dinitrogen rather than as greenhouse gases.
