Carbon Sequestration for Gardens and Farms

..."we now know how much carbon can be stored and that it could give us enough time to transition to a low carbon society"...

I've been doing a bit of research on a key focus for One World Future Farm, Carbon Sequestration, (separate page here). Here's a few articles which I've found really encouraging:
LIQUID CARBON
In an article in Resilience here, Adrian Ayres Fisher describes the process of carbon sequestration by plants acting with mycorrhizal fungi. Carbon leaks out of plants' roots into the soil - why would they let this happen?
..."like canny traders, plants use the liquid carbon, or “root exudates,” as a kind of exchange medium, which they trade to mycorrhizal fungi, bacteria and other microbes not only in return for nutrients such as nitrogen (those free-living bacteria get their own carbon fuel by living in association with growing plants) and phosphorus, but also the wide range of other nutrients plants need to help fuel growth. In fact, in healthy soil plants get 85-90% of nutrients they need through this carbon exchange. In the process, vast networks of mycorrhizae form in the soil, connecting plant roots with nutrients they couldn’t otherwise access." Synthetic fertilisers simply switch this process off. A good read.
ECOLOGICAL GARDENING
Here's another great article, more on the disaster of synthetic fertilisers and how to wean ourselves off them.
And here's an article about a visit to Eric Toensmeier's home where he's been exploring just how much carbon can be captured in a home-scale garden.
I'm really looking forward to getting started in practice with all this! Please help us get off the ground, and back onto the ground, with a small donation - One World one pound at a time - thank you!
