| Video Discription | iSEE researchers, partnered with the Leverhulme Centre for Climate Change (LC3M) at the University of Sheffield in the UK, have been exploring the potential of enhanced weathering in agricultural soils since 2016. The natural weathering of silicate rocks, which absorbs atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and traps it in the ocean as bicarbonate, can be enhanced by grinding the material to increase surface area. The ground rock (basalt) is applied to agricultural soils at the University of Illinois Energy Farm, where temperature, moisture, and plant/microbe interactions combine to release silica, phosphate, and cations that buffer soil pH and have the potential to improve crop production while bicarbonate reactions remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
