Hello, I am working on a soil project and I found a primary research article that tests how the modification of agricultural soil can cause global warming, using a thermal collector, however I have to come up with an experimental research that relates to my topic which is "how can changing the nature of soil contributes to global warming?", I working with two soil types garden and prairie, and so far the experiments I did were on deriving how much Phosphorus, Potassium and Nitrogen each sample has and I found that garden had the most of these nutrients, however I do not know how to link that to my topic. I attached a file of my primary research article below for further explanations.
Hello Lina; You might want to pay attention to the % organic content of the soils you are studying. Carbon transfer from soils to the atmosphere occurs in agricultural use. The large-scale effect would contribute to higher CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere...climate change. Best wishes, Jim Des Lauriers
Various amendments, particularly the use of biochar in soil (agriculture, gardens and lawns), can significantly work as a deposit of greenhouse gasses and reduce global warming. Our metal-analysis study showed use of animal manure enhanced N2O emissions by 17.7%, whereas, biochar amendment significantly mitigated N2 O emissions by 19.7%.
