Naming Long Island Sound and the Peconic Estuary as one
of eight national critical designation areas would help fund
agricultural conservation efforts, habitat
restoration efforts and the sustainable use
of soil, water and other natural resources, according to Mr. Bellone's office.
Complete
restoration of deforested areas is unrealistic, yet 100 GtC carbon drawdown is conceivable because: (1) the human - enhanced atmospheric CO2 level increases carbon uptake by some vegetation and
soils, (2) improved
agricultural practices can convert agriculture from a CO2 ource into a CO2 sink [174], (3) biomass - burning power plants with CO2 capture and storage can contribute to CO2 drawdown.
The rapidly accumulating evidence
of soil depletion over wide
agricultural areas, the reduction in crop yields on improperly fertilized or unfertilized areas and on others, the reduction
of fertility levels to the point where fertilizer applications represent the minimum subsistence diet, combined with an aroused public consciousness
of the importance
of soil fertility conservation and
restoration, will inevitably lead to a demand that the chemical industry provide here the same high order
of service which it offers elsewhere in meeting man's aspirations for more abundance and greater efficiency.
Above: Negative - emissions solutions can include use
of natural systems (e.g., forest or other ecosystem
restoration,
agricultural soil carbon sequestration) and technological systems (e.g., bioenergy, direct air capture coupled with storage in long - lived materials or geologic formations, accelerated CO2 mineralization processes).
Health and education outcomes can be best improved through economic development and this results in reduced population pressure, as well as providing resources for
agricultural soil conservation and increased organic content, for conservation and
restoration of ecosystems and for «water sensitive urban design».
