MAYA NUT COULD BOOST RESILIENCE TO CLIMATE CHANGE
Posted on 14th Oct 2011
"Maya Nut Could Boost Resilience to Climate Change," by Erika Vohman, Founder and Executive Director of Maya Nut Institute, is an exciting exploration of the future role of this integral dominant tree species in tropical forests of Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America; Brosimum Alicastrum.
Since the writing of this article, researchers have discovered, "Brosimum does an amazing and rarely documented trick with atmospheric carbon. It uses the Oxalate pathway to convert atmospheric carbon to calcium carbonate, effectively putting it into the geologic carbon cycle, removing it from the organic carbon cycle for, well, possibly millions of years!" - Erika Vohman
It's not your every day decaf coffee alternative that converts atmospheric carbon to geologic carbon!
