ALTER: can increasing the carbon in soil combat climate change?
Soil
“It’s important that we develop a database of research into the subject and examine its potential for success. Is it possible that the small change in soil sequencing can compensate for the greenhouse gas emissions produced by other sectors in the region?"
The James Hutton Institute

Scientists of the James Hutton Institute are supporting the Asian Agricultural Long-Term Experiment (ALTER) with the aim of providing scientific basis and management options for soil sequestration and agricultural sustainability in Asia and beyond.

The organisation, launched in March 2017, consists of several scientists working on long-term agricultural field experiments with a focus on plant-soil interaction. It strives to encourage collaboration, exchange of information, and the formation of joint research.
