The proposal identifies critical knowledge gaps in using artificial soils to capture carbon. This covers aspects of the physical, chemical and biological components of artificial soils, and importantly, includes consideration of spatial and temporal variations in these properties. The project strongly relates to all four of the ONE Planet research themes. An important outcome of this project will be elucidating the microbial mechanism behind carbon storage in these particular soils. This is critical for expanding the use of artificial soils as part of the circular economy, in the UK and beyond, to increase the recycling of non-hazardous construction materials. The results from this project have potential to shed new light on microbial mechanisms involved in carbon storage, as well as contributing practical support to the construction industry in providing a long-term sustainable route for re-use of wastes.

该提案确定了在使用人造土壤捕获碳方面的关键知识差距。这包括人工土壤的物理、化学和生物成分，重要的是，包括考虑这些特性的空间和时间变化。该项目与“一个地球”的所有四个研究主题密切相关。该项目的一个重要成果将是阐明这些特定土壤中碳储存背后的微生物机制。这对于在英国及其他地区扩大使用人造土壤作为循环经济的一部分，以增加无害建筑材料的回收利用至关重要。该项目的结果有可能为碳储存所涉及的微生物机制提供新的认识，并为建筑业提供实际支持，为废物再利用提供长期可持续的途径。
