I would like to introduce the 11th soil order, the ultisols. Ultisols (from Latin ultimus, for “last”) are generally formed from fairly intense weathering processes. During the intense ...

The carbon dioxide that results from respiration in and around deep roots is an essential component in the chemical weathering of sandstone rock soils.

Mati Carbon's technology addresses the problems of excess CO2 in the air and degradation of soil on farmland in certain parts of the world.

Concerns have arisen, for example, because fast-weathering olivine is also high in toxins such as chromium and nickel, raising the specter of long-term soil, water and crop contamination.

Also known as soil-based enhanced weathering, ERW harnesses the natural process of rock weathering to sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. How does enhanced rock weathering work?
