I'd say that's a pretty good summary of the theory, yes. Relentless applications seems to cause a collapse in soil biology, so losing all those ecosystem processes that contribute towards carbon cycling and sequestration. (Controversial opinion incoming) A healthy, biologically active soil will shrug off the occasional application of Glyphosate in a rotation with little or no long term effect but, the continued use of it seems to have significant effects on soil biology. Good evidence to suggest, where it gets into the food chain, it has a similar effect on gut biology as well.would I be right in thinking then, roundup kills soil bacteria, this then causes them to decompose and give off their held Carbon? Would that then mean, the unintended consequences of GM/Roundup ready seeds is the death of the soil biome and increased global warming?
