Designer Ecosystems
Global survey of restoration projects found only 25% of the ecosystem services provided by nature were found in the restored systems.
Biochar Revisited
With liberal assumptions, the maximum apparent rate of carbon sequestration in biochar is only about 2% of the current annual emissions of carbon, as carbon dioxide, to the atmosphere from fossil fuel combustion

Human carbon
there is a direct and powerful correlation between the rise of the human population and the rise of CO2 in Earth’s atmosphere during the past few decades.
The Missing Sink
Growing forests remove CO2 from the atmosphere, mitigating the global warming problem brought on by fossil fuel combustion.
Gazing at your lawn on a summer afternoon

Organic foods: Who couldn’t like them?
Many folks will pay considerably more for organic foods, believing that they are good for us.
Biochar Reality Check
Biochar (formerly known as charcoal) has attracted a lot of recent attention, owing to increasing interest in carbon sequestration in soils for greenhouse gas mitigation.
