The study shows that this calcium release leads to the formation of aragonite—a mineral consisting of calcium and CO 2. This retains CO 2 in the soil, which would otherwise escape into the ...

Ozone pollution is a global environmental concern that not only threatens human health and crop production, but also worsens ...

This means that soil's capacity to absorb CO2 needs to be re-assessed and incorporated into today's climate models. Previous studies have established that carbon binds to tiny mineral particles.

"We have basically taken engineering solutions into the context of natural soil formation from rocks, because tailings have some useful minerals common to natural rocks." Their solution ...

The main effect they have on the environment is through pedogenesis, aka soil formation. Earthworms take mineral soil and digest any organic matter, such as fallen leaves, using microbe-filled guts ...

CEC is a measurement of a soil’s capacity to retain soil minerals that plants require. Positively charged molecules are cations; these include minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium ...

Rock minerals are important for soil and plant health. I've often told folks that any kind of rock that's different from the native rock will help. The main rock minerals I use myself and ...
