ISBN:  9781609615543 (hc.) 1609615549 (hc.) Description:  xiii, 242 pages ; 23 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 238-242) Contents:  Where did all the carbon go? -- The marriage of light and dark -- Send in the cows -- Letting nature do its job -- Cashing in on carbon -- Why don't we know this stuff? -- New bedfellows -- Heroes of the underground. Summary:  "Thousands of years of poor farming and ranching practices -- and, especially, modern industrial agriculture -- have led to the loss of up to 80 percent of carbon from the world's soils. That carbon is now floating in the atmosphere, and even if we stopped using fossil fuels today, it would continue warming the planet. Kristin Ohlson makes an elegantly argued, passionate case for a way in which we can not only heal the land but also turn atmospheric carbon into beneficial soil carbon -- and potentially reverse global warming. An ecological approach involving the vast population of underground microorganisms that fix carbon in the soil. Ohlson introduces the visionaries -- scientists, farmers, ranchers, and landscapers -- who are figuring out in the lab and on the ground how to build healthy soil, which solves myriad problems: drought, erosion, air and water pollution, and food quality, as well as climate change. Her discoveries and vivid storytelling will revolutionize the way we think about our food, our landscapes, our plants, and our relationship to Earth"--Provided by publisher.
