Motivation
Plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, using the carbon and oxygen to make sugars and respiring the remaining oxygen. Plant tissues and exudates are composed of carbon which, when incorporated into soil, can be stored for long periods
Climate Change Mitigation
Impact
Loss of organic carbon correlates with high economic cost. $44 billion per year is lost from erosion of soil organic carbon from agricultural production. Preserving carbon stored as organic matter is a viable, efficient, and valuable approach to re
