Upstream data need to prove soil carbon as a climate solution - Nature Climate Change Causal approaches employed at the scale of commercial agriculture are required to build high-quality evidence that climate-smart agricultural interventions result in real emissions reductions and removals. Such project-scale empirical data are additionally required to demonstrate and advance the viability of process-based models and digital measurement, reporting and verification as tools to scale soil carbon accounting.

🔖🪨🚜🌧️🌊 Thanks to @jamesdinneen.bsky.social + @newscientist.com for speaking with @yalecncc.bsky.social scientists about research into whether, where, and under what conditions agricultural liming can be a carbon sink, vs (as conventionally considered) a carbon source. More research to come on this...

Agricultural liming in the US is a large CO₂ sink, say researchers Adding lime to agricultural soils can remove CO2 from the atmosphere, rather than cause CO2 emissions, claims new research.

🔖🪨🚜🌧️🌊📉 Thanks to @phys.org.web.brid.gy for this article on @climatejesper.bsky.social's talk yesterday at @goldschmidt-confer.bsky.social on the potential for novel frameworks for the application of agricultural lime to drive durable CDR via enhanced weathering at low cost
