  Soil Is Bigger Carbon Sink Than Previously Thought: Report A new report issued on “Agriculture Day” of COP30 found that soils store about 2,822 gigatons of carbon in the top one meter, up from earlier estimates of around 1,500 gigatons. It also concluded that 27% of carbon emissions needed to keep global warming below 2C can be sequestered in soils in good condition, the equivalent of about 3.38 gigatons of carbon dioxide (Gt CO2) per year.  This carbon sink is in danger: the report explains that at current rates, soil degradation could release 4.81 billion metric tons of CO2 per year into the atmosphere, if allowed to continue. Current CO2 emissions from degrading US soils alone equate to approximately 75 million cars, while that if 1% of the carbon in Europe’s soils were to be released, it would equate to the annual emissions of 1 billion cars.  Meanwhile, the economic value of soil’s ecosystem services are estimated at over $11 trillion ...

           Agricultural transformation starts from the soil up  Feeding a world of eight billion people while restoring ecosystems demands bold, coordinated innovation. Across Africa and beyond, OCP Group is driving this transformation from the ground up – empowering farmers with tailored soil nutrient solutions that boost yields and cut emissions. With a US $13 billion green industrial strategy and powered by renewable energy, OCP is making remarkable strides towards a climate-positive future. From full renewable energy reliance by 2027 and net-zero emissions by 2040, OCP is setting the pace for sustainable growth across the global agri-food sector. Sustainable soil nutrients as the foundation of transformation    The most natural starting point for this transformation lies in the soil – the living foundation of all agriculture. Across Africa and beyond, forward-thinking initiatives are shifting away from carbon-intensive methods and toward ...

  Scientists learn to see the hidden world beneath our feet - from the sky A new study by Dr Angela Harris from The University of Manchester and Professor Richard Bardgett from Lancaster University has revealed that scientists can now detect the hidden world of microbes living in the soil - from the air. Published in  New Phytologist , the research shows that detailed airborne images capturing many parts of the electromagnetic spectrum can be used to predict the abundance and diversity of microbes that live in the soil beneath plant canopies. This offers a new way to monitor soil health and biodiversity. Soil is the most biodiverse and complex habitat on Earth, and the microbes that live in it - tiny bacteria and fungi that recycle nutrients, store carbon, and keep ecosystems healthy - are fundamental to a healthy planet. Yet, because they live underground, they are notoriously difficult and expensive to measure across large areas.  Recent research shows that the types of...

 The secret to tackling the climate crisis could be right under our feet. Here’s why Despite being one of the largest natural carbon sinks, most nations exclude soil from their climate plans. The key to meeting global climate targets may have been right beneath our feet this entire time. As COP30 enters its final week of negotiations, pressure to transition from fossil fuels, bolster renewable energy and even remove meat from our diets has reached an all-time high. The EU Commission says it is using the annual event to push the international community to “strive for bolder action” to cut emissions and adapt to the impact of the climate crisis. But, to meet the  Paris Agreement  and stop global temperatures from exceeding 2℃, and preferably to 1.5℃, leaders are being urged to look to the planet’s "quiet infrastructure”: soil. Soil could cut emissions by 27 per cent A report released today found that  soils  store more than 2,800 gigatonnes of carbon in the top on...

  How Soil Types Affect Cadmium in Rice! This study reveals that soil type plays a stronger role than cadmium bioavailability in determining cadmium accumulation in rice. Root and leaf architectural changes significantly influence uptake and distribution, offering new insights for managing heavy metal risks and improving rice safety through soil-specific cultivation strategies.

  Chances Of Asteroid 2024 YR4 Hitting Moon Could Increase To Over 30%, Says Report There's a 4% chance that an asteroid, named 2024 YR4, will hit the Moon in 2032. Now, the astronomers are concerned as this probability could increase to over 30% based on upcoming observations by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in February 2026,  New Scientist  reported. A team of scientists explained to the media outlet that there is an 80% chance of the odds of a lunar impact dropping to below 1%. Also, a 5% chance that the odds will increase to over 30%. Next year, JWST will have narrow viewing windows on February 18 and 26 to gather crucial data on the asteroid's trajectory and what to do about it. The asteroid, which created a buzz in 2024 over reports that it would hit Earth, is estimated to be around 53-67 meters in diameter, roughly the size of a 10-story building. History of Asteroid 2024 YR4 Asteroid 2024 YR4 was first discovered on December 27, 2024, by the Asteroid Terre...
