The report also noted that “solid organic matter” is sometimes not removed from kennels and that some kennels were not cleaned beyond spraying them with water, with the dogs still inside.

The IPCC, the UN climate science body, recommends that “biogenic” emissions - which come from burning organic matter like food - are not included in calculations because they are recorded under the emissions for the land and forestry sector.

We've been essentially exhausting the ecosystem capital of organic matter and sending that into the atmosphere.

A: This is one of the most interesting stories when we think about the food that's on our plates: the role that carbon, organic matter, has in the soil, supporting the crops that we grow.

The more organic matter we have in the soil, the more fertile the soil is going to be, the more abundant the crops will be, the more resilient the plants will be in terms of being able to fight off disease and be able to deal with drought.
