The OA-ICC is an IAEA Peaceful Uses Initiative project launched at the UN Rio+20 conference in 2012 following increasing concern from IAEA Member States about ocean acidification. The Centre responds ...

Acidic soil can plague crop producers with nutrient deficiencies and poor root growth, leading to reduced yields. Lime can be ...

Ocean acidification is mainly caused by carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere dissolving into the ocean. This leads to a lowering of the water's pH, making the ocean more acidic. Carbon dioxide is ...

The main processes involved in the release and fixation of nutrient elements in soils include dissolution-precipitation and adsorption-desorption. We will discuss these processes and how they ...

Soil is critical for the food everyone eats. Healthy soils matter not just for producing 95% of global food supplies, but also for safeguarding other aspects of human health. Soils sequester a ...

Ocean acidification, a consequence of climate change caused by the ocean’s absorption of carbon dioxide (CO 2), is threatening the environment. Because of its global scale, addressing ocean ...

While the world’s soils are home to lots of organic carbon ... is affected by changes in the environment, especially soil acidification. Acids dissolve calcium carbonate, meaning the carbon ...
