The Fractal Blueprint: Soil Pores, Symmetry, and Climate Mitigation
Soil is a critical component of terrestrial ecosystems, directly influencing global biogeochemical cycles. Despite its importance, the complex architecture of soil pores and their impact on greenhouse gas emissions remain poorly understood. This perspective aims to address this gap by applying discrete symmetry and symmetry-breaking concepts through fractal geometry to elucidate the structural and functional complexities of soil pores. We highlight how fractal parameters can quantify the self-s…
