Soil biogeochemists like me study exactly how the soil system makes this possible, by locking away the carbon in physical association with minerals, inside aggregates of soil minerals, and formation of strong chemical bonds that bind the carbon to the surfaces of the minerals.
Biogeokemičari tla poput mene proučavaju upravo to kako je ovo moguće, da uklonimo ugljik  u kombinaciji s mineralima unutar agregata zemljinih minerala i stvaranjem snažnih kemijskih veza koje vežu ugljik na površinu minerala.
