"The highest rates of
sequestration in mineral soils occurred in the Midwest, where there were the largest amounts of cropland managed with
conservation tillage adoption. Rates were
also high in the Great Plains due to enrollment in the
Conservation Reserve Program. Emission rates from
drained organic soils were highest along the southeastern coastal region, in the northeast central United States surrounding the Great Lakes, and along the central and northern portions of the west coast."
HEY! You folks on the coasts! Start treating your land better!
