Here we show, using century-scale records of agricultural liming and anthropogenic acidity inputs for the Mississippi River Basin, that agricultural liming has acted as a net carbon sink over the past century. ... net CO2 removal emerges after an initial emissions pulse ... approximately 90% of the ideal CO2 removal potential ... has been realized.
