| Zusammenfassung: | The present invention provides methods for slowing down the rate at which plant biomaterials, such as lignin, are degraded, thereby improving the terrestrial storage of carbon by reducing the amount of gaseous carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere upon biodegradation. The inventive methods contemplate the modification of plant macromolecules to make them more resistant to degradation as well as the treatment of living and non-living plants with fungicides to prolong the rate of plant breakdown. |
