The research group revealed that the amount of CO\u2082 released from soil increases significantly due to repeated drying and rewetting cycles (DWCs) expected to be caused by changes in precipitation patterns due to global warming.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4a\">Research-related inquiries<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hyoka.ofc.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/html\/100022048_en.html\">Syuntaro Hiradate, Professor<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.agr.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/english\/\">Facutly of Agriculture<\/a><br \/>\nContact information can also be found in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/f\/60983\/03_fullver_2401_Hiradate_Niigata_U_JAEA_HP_article.pdf\">full release<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Professor Syuntaro Hiradate Facutly of Agriculture The amount of carbon dioxide (CO\u2082) released by microbial decomposition of soil organic carbon on a global scale is approximately five times greater than the amount of anthropogenic CO\u2082 emissions.
