Thanks.

I figured that someone might have seen this article and that it was discussed it already.

I wonder though if the scientists included the microbes in their C count. If you replace dead organic material with live organic material it seems that the C of live organic material should be included in the analysis.

Even if the C counts of dead vs. live organic material were essentially equal, it still seems that their needs to be an analysis of which is better for the soil for both growth and long term carbon sustainability.
