And then for fir, I injected the stable isotope carbon-13 carbon dioxide gas.

I figured it would take this long for the trees to suck up the CO2 through photosynthesis, turn it into sugars, send it down into their roots, and maybe, I hypothesized, shuttle that carbon belowground to their neighbors.

And fir was saying, "Yeah, can you send me some of your carbon?

It turns out at that time of the year, in the summer, that birch was sending more carbon to fir than fir was sending back to birch, especially when the fir was shaded.

And then in later experiments, we found the opposite, that fir was sending more carbon to birch than birch was sending to fir, and this was because the fir was still growing while the birch was leafless.

And where the fungal cells interact with the root cells, there's a trade of carbon for nutrients, and that fungus gets those nutrients by growing through the soil and coating every soil particle.

And using our isotope tracers, we have found that mother trees will send their excess carbon through the mycorrhizal network to the understory seedlings, and we've associated this with increased seedling survival by four times.

They send them more carbon below ground.

So we've used isotope tracing to trace carbon moving from an injured mother tree down her trunk into the mycorrhizal network and into her neighboring seedlings, not only carbon but also defense signals.

And carbon, if we're getting that into the soil, is going to bind to the other minerals and nutrients in there.

Chemical fertilizers by definition don't have carbon in them.

Remember that carbon in the poop?

If we can get that into our soil bank, it's going to start to absorb carbon dioxide that we put into the air.

In this concrete, even small cracks can channel water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide that corrode the steel and lead to disastrous collapse.

The resulting calcium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide in the air, starting a process called autogenous healing, where microscopic calcium carbonate crystals form and gradually fill the gap.

We exhale carbon dioxide, so does mycelium.

Oxalic acid is two carbon dioxide molecules joined together.

So, fungi and mycelium sequester carbon dioxide in the form of calcium oxalates.

And all sorts of other oxalates are also sequestering carbon dioxide through the minerals that are being formed and taken out of the rock matrix.

Too many withdrawals from the carbon bank, and so this population will be shut down.

So, we build the carbon banks on the planet, renew the soils.

And if that salmon's from Chile, and it's killed down there and then flown 5,000 miles, whatever, dumping how much carbon into the atmosphere?

We'll reduce not only calories, but our carbon footprint.

The final thing that you should notice is that each year, about 10 gigatons of carbon are getting added to the planet's atmosphere, and then diffusing into the ocean and into the land.

At the end of 30 years, we will have put 850 gigatons of carbon into the air, and that probably goes a long way towards locking in a 2-4 degree C increase in global mean surface temperatures, locking in ocean acidification and locking in sea level rise.

There were even groups trying to make an elevator to space using carbon nanotubes.

So our group's role and our group's mission is to innovate by employing carbon nanotubes, because we think that they can provide a path to continue this pace.

They're tiny, hollow tubes of carbon atoms, and their nanoscale size, that small size, gives rise to these just outstanding electronic properties.

That air that you just exhaled, you enriched a hundred times in carbon dioxide.
