CONT

Agricultural soils are a net source of carbon dioxide - but they could be made into a net sink. Improved management practices designed to increase agricultural productivity could enable agricultural soils to absorb and hold more carbon. Low-tech strategies include the use of crop residues and low- or no-tillage practices, since carbon is more easily liberated from soil that is turned over or left bare.

CONT

Les terres agricoles sont une source nette de dioxyde de carbone - mais on pourrait en faire un puits net. De meilleures méthodes d'exploitation visant à accroître la productivité agricole pourraient permettre aux sols cultivés d'absorber et de retenir de plus grandes quantités de carbone. Des technologies rudimentaires consistent à utiliser du compost et à n'effectuer au mieux qu'une préparation limitée du sol, car le carbone s'échappe plus facilement d'un sol qui est retourné ou en friche.
