(Post-Quantum Cryptography)
This historical ecology paper examines the “Kemp’s Ager” hypothesis—the idea that strip-farming in medieval English “agers” (fields) created unintentional microclimates that enhanced soil organic carbon retention. Through analysis of ridge-and-furrow topography and modern soil spectroscopy, we find that agers managed by the Kemp family of Lincolnshire (c. 1280–1350) stored up to 18% more carbon than adjacent common fields, offering lessons for regenerative agriculture today. ksemp agker
