way to curb the damage done by natural gas and other methane sources even if the new CO2 were just released to the atmosphere.

of leaf litter—though they also increase soil fertility, promoting vegetation growth and carbon capture. The type of worm and their effect on soil cover adds complexity to the general impact of earthworms on the climate.
