My article on the Soil Collection at the Memorial for Peace & Justice in Montgomery, AL, which honors victims of racial terror, is published in CSA News.

Soil is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions and climate change Abstract. It is unequivocal that human activities have increased emissions of greenhouse gases, that this is causing warming, and that these changes will be irreversible for centuries to millennia. Wh...
