As a result, levels of nitrogen in Earth’s atmosphere have tripled since 1850. The research team wanted to understand whether this extra nitrogen is affecting soil’s ability to hold onto carbon and keep it from becoming a greenhouse gas.</p> <p><a href="https://news.ucr.edu/articles/2023/02/01/soil-tainted-air-pollution-expels-carbon">Read More</a></p> <div class="tags-title">Tags</div> <div class="tags-list"> <div><a href="https://envisci.ucr.edu/tags/peter-homyak" hreflang="en">Peter Homyak</a></div> </div> <div class="sharing-title">Share This</div><span class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="https://envisci.ucr.edu/node/631" data-a2a-title="Soil tainted by air pollution expels carbon"><a class="a2a_button_facebook"></a><a class="a2a_button_x"></a><a class="a2a_button_linkedin"></a><a class="a2a_button_google_plus"></a><a class="a2a_button_email"></a><a class="a2a_button_printfriendly"></a><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share" aria-label="more options to share" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share#url=https%3A%2F%2Fenvisci.ucr.edu%2Fnode%2F631&amp;title=Soil%20tainted%20by%20air%20pollution%20expels%20carbon"></a></span><script> (function () { const customClassName = 'show-for-sr'; const targetContainer = document.querySelector('.a2a_kit.addtoany_list'); if (!targetContainer) return; const addClassToLabels = () => { const labels = targetContainer.querySelectorAll('.a2a_label'); if (labels.length > 0) { labels.forEach(label => { if (!label.classList.contains(customClassName)) { label.classList.add(customClassName); } }); console.log('Successfully applied show-for-sr class to AddToAny labels.'); return true; } return false; }; const observerConfig = { childList: true, subtree: true }; const observer = new MutationObserver((mutationsList, observer) => { if (addClassToLabels()) { observer.disconnect(); } }); if (!addClassToLabels()) { observer.observe(targetContainer, observerConfig); } })(); </script> Thu, 09 Feb 2023 16:43:25 +0000 Anonymous 631 at https://envisci.ucr.edu
