What is Root Zone Enrichment?
Root zone enrichment enhances the nutrients, water, and other growth-promoting substances around the root zone.
Kentucky Bluegrass and Carbon Sequestration
Kentucky bluegrass has a shallower root system than prairie grasses, but it still stores organic carbon in its roots and in the soil.
Can You Really Change Soil Carbon?
What would it take to change the amount of carbon in the soil? The obstacles aren’t just scientific. It takes interest and incentives.
