INCREASING CARBON STOCK POTENTIAL IN DEGRADED LANDS AND REDUCING ATMOSPHERIC CO2 THROUGH FIELD INOCULATION OF CYANOBACTERIA

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
