Reducing carbon emissions is crucial for combating climate change, but alone it is not enough to avoid its potentially catastrophic consequences. This raises many questions: Which natural processes capture carbon from the air and store it in the environment (i.e. negative emissions)? Can we find ways to speed up these processes? How much carbon can be stored that way and for how long? What are the co-benefits and negative consequences of these efforts? How will they affect other parts of the natural environment and the communities of people living in the affected areas?
