The 180-year Broadbalk Experiment at Rothamsted shows long-term nitrogen and phosphorus fertilisation can boost soil carbon storage, helping mitigate climate change. Research reveals that N and P affect microbial activity and carbon persistence differently, with combined use maximizing stable soil carbon. Findings underscore the importance of long-term trials and careful nutrient management for sustainable agriculture.
