Georgia Tech researcher seeks means to remove greenhouse gases in agriculture

AI-assisted summary

A Georgia Tech study reveals that liming, a common agricultural practice, removes carbon from the atmosphere.

Liming, which involves adding crushed calcium or magnesium carbonate rock to soil, neutralizes acidity and enhances crop growth.

A recently published study by the Georgia Institute of Technology reveals that liming, normally used to neutralize the acid in soil, can remove carbon from the atmosphere.

Chris Reinhard, associate professor of biogeochemistry at the School of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Institute of Technology, said there’s been interest in the carbon cycle for a long time.

The carbon cycle describes the process in which carbon atoms continually travel from the atmosphere to the Earth and then back into the atmosphere, according to
