Schwartz. Soil as Carbon Storehouse: New Weapon in Climate Fight? Yale Environment 360. March 4, 2014 
Earth’s soils have lost 50 to 70 percent of their original carbon stock, causing a huge increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide. Soil scientists find land-restoration programs in places like the North American prairie, the North China plain, and the desert interior of Australia can help put carbon back into the soil. Doing so is vital to offset fossil fuel emissions and to feed the world’s growing human population.
