Fertilization of Rice Paddies Can Help Reduce the Greenhouse Effect, Says a Soil Scientist from RUDN University

Caption

A soil scientist from RUDN University discovered the effect of fertilization on the ability of the soil to retain carbon. To understand this mechanism, he and his team studied the movement of organic carbon in the soil of rice paddies. The results of the study can help increase the fertility of the paddies while at the same time reducing the volume of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
