Those who work on soil issues have long hoped for a new study, with well-known soil scientists calling for one as early as 2005, at the government’s annual Two Sessions meetings. An increase of only a few percentage points would sequester huge quantities of carbon. This represents 25% of the potential of all natural climate solutions.
