A new study from Colorado State University's Department of Soil and Plant Sciences and Graduate Program in Ecology found that regenerative practices—including the integration of crop and livestock systems—were successful as long-term carbon storage solutions. The article "Recovery of particulate and mineral-bound organic carbon through regenerative agriculture" was recently published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ( PNAS ). The study was led by an ecology Ph.D. candidate, Aaron Prairie, along with two co-authors: research scientist Alison King and M. Francesca Cotrufo, professor of agricultural and crop sciences and adviser to Prairie. Their research presented a global systematic meta-analysis that looked not only at the effect of regenerative agricultural practices on soil total organic carbon (SOC), but instead focused on two main groups.
