Climate change to drastically reduce soil organic carbon in Iran by 2065.
Soil organic carbon levels in North and Northeast Iran are predicted to decrease due to rising temperatures and reduced precipitation. Using a model, researchers estimated that by 2065, soil organic carbon will decline in cultivated lands under different climate change scenarios. The study suggests that the soil's ability to store carbon will be negatively impacted by these environmental changes, leading to a decrease in soil organic carbon levels over time.
