Engineering carbon sequestration on arid lands
Hirt H., Boukcim H., Ducousso M., Saad M.M.. 2023. Trends in Plant Science, 28 (11) : p. 1218-1221.
To limit the effects of global warming, arid lands, which constitute approximately one-third of terrestrial surfaces and are not utilized for agriculture, could serve as an effective method for long-term carbon (C) storage. We propose that soil–plant–microbiome engineering with oxalogenic plants and oxalotrophic microbes could facilitate C sequestration on a global scale.
