Farmers are being paid millions to trap carbon in … –

The model, launched in the 1980s, was originally called Century because it simulated carbon dynamics on timescales of a century or longer.As concerns about climate change grew, the CSU team looked to expand the model to capture how the three major greenhouse gases—CO 2, methane, and N 2 O—pass between air and land during a growing season.
