hard to lift soil carbon levels beyond a natural equilibrium in low fertility/low rainfall situations.
higher organic carbon levels enable a faster churn of microbial activity--which releases carbon dioxide as a byproduct.
government scared of having to do carbon accounts for the national estate--no national or state park is managed for wise use/excellence now,let alone carbon neutrality---bushfire season bad enough in southern australia,but the burning season in the north panics them. [and is forcing carbon neutrality on the large areas under the control of indiginous land councils not cultural imperialism,because the 'right sort' are imposing it?.okay?.]
trees are not a carbon sink,just a 'slow release'buffer. ---maybe biochar is better,but not efficient?.
been trying to see this as anything other than a snafu,in the traditional military use of the term.
[and legumes could be taxed--they don't like nitrate leaching. nitrate leaching bad,okay?.]
