๐The results of this research "indicated that increasing pressure increases the #solubility of CO2 in aqueous solutions, resulting in lower pH values. In contrast, increasing #salinity and #temperature lowers the solubility and, as a result, increases the system's pH."

The Climate Change Authority of #Australia has issued a report that pinpoints #CarbonSequestration as critical to reduce emissions.
"Storing C away from the atm is integral, both to avert #GHGs from entering the atm & to #remove them from it."

THREAD: What happens to #carbon once it's sequestered in soils? How can we lock it in & ensure it doesn't return to the atmosphere as CO2?
Soil scientists use "fractionation" methods for that^. Fractionation tells us about different pools of C-some stay forever & some are quick

Consider it like food for the body.
Some of the energy in your food will get used to build your bones-it stays there & is permanent. Some of the energy gets digested & respired as CO2 when you breathe. Not permanent, but you still need it. & some is intermediate-stored as fat.

In soils, we call the permanent fraction MAOM (minerally associated organic matter). This is the soil C that gets stuck to minerals & stays forever.
The faster fraction is called POM (particulate organic matter). This pool is a lot more dynamic

Todayโs the day! Join our chief scientist @j_zelikova, as well as @SenWhitehouse, @RepPaulTonko to *get the dirt* on whatโs happening in the future of soil carbon storage. bit.ly/3bepUsh
Fantastic remarks from @RepPaulTonko and @SenWhitehouse on the need for negative emissions technologies to meet climate goals, and the critical role agricultural soils play in achieving this.
"For the farming community, this [soil carbon storage] could be a win-win-win situation." -- @RepPaulTonko
