The majority of carbon in the soil doesnt come from plant matter. It comes from plant root exudates. Plants pump sugars and carbohydrates into the soil to feed bacteria and fungi. As long as we dont poison or till the soil, the ecosystem keeps the carbon in the soil. Some of it will cycle. That is the way it is supposed to be. Greater than 80% of farm land soil is dead. What little carbon that is built up in a season is released in the spring when the field is tilled. No till, diverse cover crops, and animals (a complete ecosystem) stores immense amounts of carbon in the soil. |
