It’s often assumed that all soil organic carbon ultimately derives from recent vegetation, but researchers argue that carbon inherited from parent rocks can be important and deserves more focus.

Crushing basalt into fine dust is a form of enhanced rock weathering that accelerates natural chemical processes to reduce CO 2 in the atmosphere and also enriches nutrients in soil.

It also covers some methods of carbon dioxide removal, an emerging but as yet commercially untested suite of technologies such as enhanced rock weathering, bio-energy capture and direct air capture.
