What is soil breathing?
about two -thirds of the world carbon are directly below the surface in dirty soil. When this distracted element is donated by carbon dioxide (CO2), this phenomenon is known as soil breathing or underground breathing. Naturally caused by a series of environmental processes - from exudation of plants to chemical drainage CO2 - soil respiration increases when temperatures are high and drops when the soil is too wet or too dry.
The various natural reactions are combined to create a total amount of CO2 outflow entering the atmosphere from the soil. The roots emit CO2 during plant growth. The carbon is found in the excretion and bodies of animals, insects and even amoebs. In addition to these biological processes, oxidation and gasification occur on deeper chemical levels. In the agricultural and ecological sense, the soil breathing involves hitting the perfect carbon balance.
higher than average temperatures contribute most to increasing soil breathing. This has many scientists of climate change that shows soil breathing as another suspicious global otEploration, because atmospheric carbon dioxide is one of the main greenhouse gases contributing to climate change. However, soil breathing is not the main suspect. Even in 2011, coal and fossil fuel burning power plants still change the wheels of cars and industry and emit unnaturally high levels of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane. On the other hand, the soil was there for as long as life on the ground and breathed only enough to hit the carbon balance needed to support life.
Since the beginning of the industrial revolution in the 18th century, according to several studies cited by former US vice president, Al Gore has increased the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide by 30 percent. The average temperatures around the world slowly climbed for the same time. Spiring growing temperatures increases under soil exponentially, some observers fear that the average level of breathing will also increase, which further maintainIt creates more carbon dioxide and higher temperatures.
and other factors also affect the rate of soil breathing, such as the moisture of dirt and its level of soil organic matter (SOM). When moisture or SOM levels are too low, CO2 emissions decrease. On the other hand, when moisture rises too high above normal CO2 drain, it also decreases. Only under moderate moisture conditions can underground breathing properly function. Farmers rotate regularly to, water, fertilization, aeration and even cover their soils to affect the right balance of the key carbon.
