Enhancing infiltration and introducing organic carbon by artificial macropores for restoration of degraded soils

◆Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research(JSPS)
◆Leader: Yasushi Mori
◆Period: FY2014-FY2016

Soil is largest carbon storage body in all terrestrial medium such as vegetation and the atmosphere. However, these days, soils could not perform its function as water storage layer or culture medium for plant (left), because of climate change or rough management. In this study, artificial macropores (right) are introduced in soils, then, effective solute transports in soils are performed. Organic matters at surface soils are effectively introduced into the soil body, which would enhance carbon storage in soils and remediate soil environment.
