In a new study, researchers found that increasing the calcium content in soil significantly reduces CO2 emissions: 50% in calcium-poor soils and 57% in calcium-rich soils. The reason for this is that calcium promotes the formation of the mineral aragonite, which binds CO2 and thus prevents the release of this greenhouse gas into the atmosphere.
