And what about y-axis?, or this rare phenomenon only occurs on the x-axis?.

The y-axis in the graph is linear. You should go learn about graphical representations.

I haven't thought about graphs since high school ... this is a lin-log graph.

comparison
lin-lin, lin-log
log-lin, log-log

Plotted graphs are: y = 10 x (red), y = x (green), y = log_e(x) (blue).

Agriculture a culprit in global warming, says U.S. research | Reuters

New research, published by National Academy of Sciences, has estimated that 133 billion tons of carbon have been removed from the top two meters of the earth's soil over the last two centuries by agriculture, and that the rate is increasing. More carbon is lost per acre by tillage, but an equal amount is lost world-wide by grazing, due to larger acreage. The 133 billion tons of carbon lost from soil compares to about 140 billion tons lost due to deforestation.

I read the article, and nowhere in it backs your claim. The words "billion" and "tons" don't appear anywhere. Can you post where did you see it?

NEW YORK (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Agriculture has contributed nearly as much to climate change as deforestation by intensifying global warming, according to U.S. research that has quantified the amount of carbon taken from the soil by farming.

Some 133 billion tons of carbon have been removed from the top two meters of the earth's soil over the last two centuries by agriculture at a rate that is increasing, said the study in PNAS, a journal published by the National Academy of Sciences.

Global warming is largely due to the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from such activities as burning fossil fuels and cutting down trees that otherwise would absorb greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide......

The 133 billion tons of carbon lost from soil compares to about 140 billion tons lost due to deforestation, he said, mostly since the mid-1800s and the Industrial Revolution.....

World has missed chance to avoid dangerous global warming – unless we start geo-engineering the planet | The Independent

Computer simulations suggests that nothing we can do now will stop the Earth from overheating above the target of either 1.5 OR 2.0 degrees C set by the Paris Agreement. But we might be able to bring temperatures back down to 1.2C by the end of the century if we deploy yet-to-be-developed atmospheric carbon capture technology, as well as aggressively decarbonize our energy system. Even so, sea levels would rise substantially.

The article uses Pg (picograms). Nowhere in it does it makes claims like you say. If I am wrong, can you tell in which page or appendix of the published article is that claim?
Thanks

Simulations are simply that: simulations. They are not fact. Simulations are based on unproven assumptions. The only verifiable fact is that all the climate change simulations have been proven wrong.

What is the use of capturing carbon emissions when the same radicals preaching climate control are disallowing wood harvesting and good forestry practices resulting in catastrophic and sometimes deliberate forest fires?

Think of all the wooden boats that could have been built by the wood wasted in the conflagrations. Forest Health and Wildfires https://naturalresources.house.gov/foresthealthandwildfires/

I'm back on the road, so can't do further research for you.
