A recent study published in National Science Review has revealed the soil inorganic carbon (SIC) stock in China’s topsoil (0–10 cm) may decrease by 314 ± 8 Tg C, accompanied by a loss of 217 ± 9 Tg C from the 2 m soils until 2100, estimaed by a new process-based mode. These findings challenge the traditional view of SIC stability in terrestrial carbon cycles, reveal potential substantial SIC losses in both topsoils and deep soils, and highlight the projection of future climate and global inorganic carbon cycle feedbacks.
The vast majority of environmental claims from the animal agricultural industry are misleading “greenwashing” that relies on vague promises or projections, according to a study published April 22, 2026 in the open-access journal PLOS Climate by Maya Bach and Jennifer Jacquet from the University of Miami, United States, and colleagues.
