Currently it's more about intensive* systems like horticulture or viticulture (for arable fields there just isn't enough wood available).<br>And we need to be be aware about possible emissions of CO2 (the soil microbes "consume" the wood chips over time, although a share gets converted into relatively stable soil organic matter while the plants get nurtured) and what happens with the N cycle. Here, the team of the URBAG project, headed by Gara Villalba at UAB-ICTA did recently some interesting life cycle assessments and gas measurements and the Carboniato system seems to have a tight microbial nutrient cycling in the high C soil which decreases losses while allowing the plants to access nutrients.</p><p>So, carboniato is an impressive system, and I am very glad that you take it tho the netherlands!</p><p>There is still a lot of research to do, but here you can use your skills and academic structures for the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AgroecologicalTransformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AgroecologicalTransformation</span></a> .
