Some means of adaptation can also act as mitigation; a farming technique which helps soil store moisture better may well help it store carbon too.
Dr. Richard Meagher, a professor of genetics at the University of Georgia, genetically engineered the trees to extract mercury from the soil, store it without being harmed, convert it to a less toxic form of mercury and release it into the air.
Sheep production is not damaging to the environment or to health – sheep mainly eat grass and grass is part of a complex and natural cycling of carbon, with soil storing carbon in organic matter.
As agriculture secretary he formulated and administered New Deal legislation (especially the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933) designed to raise and stabilize farm prices, conserve soil, store reserves, and control production.
Signifying the forest, the Climate Changed Symposium dinner appetizer was a trio of dried, preserved and foraged mushrooms — fungi known to help the soil store carbon dioxide and thus slow the pace of climate change.

This may be attributable to significant changes in soil condition, depletion of the native soil stored seedbanks, continuous use of chemicals and pesticides, and continuous grazing by native and exotic grazers.
To retain native grasses rehabilitation needs to use directly placed topsoil, rather than soil stored for years, and minimise fertiliser supplementation, particularly avoiding the application of large quantities of phosphorus.
