Increasing carbon stock potential in degraded lands and reducing atmospheric CO2 through field inoculation of cyanobacteria
Micro-organisms of biological soil crusts have a major role in carbon (C) cycling and atmospheric CO2 removal.Currently, the ability of erodible soils to store atmospheric C is reduced.Thus, we assessed how inoculating soil cyanobacteria onto degraded soil affects C sequestration from the atmosphere.The existing cyanobacteria (Nostoc sp., Oscillato
