Spreading Crushed Rock on Newly-Planted Forests Boosts Carbon Storing and Nutrients
A study by scientists at Imperial College London found that spreading crushed basalt rock on newly planted forests increases their ability to store carbon and improves soil nutrients. This method, part of a larger experiment on enhanced weathering, helps young forests grow faster and more resiliently. The findings suggest a practical way to support reforestation efforts in combating climate change.
