A Practical, Get-Your-Hands-in-the-Soil Manual Global climate
change, increasing pollution, and continued rapid population growth
is wreaking havoc on the planet. Stabilizing the environment at
safe levels requires a large-scale restoration of damaged
ecosystems. Geotherapy: Innovative Methods of Soil Fertility
Restoration, Carbon Sequestration, and Reversing CO2 Increase
outlines the basic concepts of geotherapy and highlights the
importance of healing the biosphere's ability to store soil carbon
to prevent climate change impacts. Facing challenges head on, it
addresses how and why policymakers have underestimated the
long-term impacts of climate change and how we can correct the
flawed carbon management mechanisms today. The book also factors in
where carbon can be most effectively stored, how quickly that can
be done, and the practical and policy actions needed to get there.
This text presents innovative new technologies for restoring the
most productive ecosystems on land while maintaining high
biodiversity. It addresses processes and techniques of soil carbon
restoration through biogeochemical cycling, biochar, slow-release
fertilizers, weathering of minerals (olivine) and rock (basalt)
powders, amendments and bio-fertilizers, and the establishment of
vetiver and other perennials. Written by highly recognized
professionals from every continent except Antarctica, this
extensive work consists of 34 chapters covering issues that
include: field experiences with biochar including a history of its
research; practical uses of biochar in farming systems and the use
of biochar for soil fertility enhancement; the potential of
remineralization as a global movement; seawater concentrate for
abundant agriculture; superior food production using sea salt and
plant extracts; recycling waste nutrients using biochar and
limestone; and commercially viable carbon farming. The book
concludes with a chapter providing general thoughts on regreening
the earth and averting a global crisis. Geotherapy: Innovative
Methods of Soil Fertility Restoration, Carbon Sequestration, and
Reversing CO2 Increase is an encyclopedia of ideas providing the
tools needed for anyone involved with the ecological restoration
and transformation of the planet.
