Abstract Background As interest in the voluntary soil carbon market surges, registries have been developing new measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) protocols. These protocols are inconsistent their approaches to measuring organic (SOC). Two areas of concern include type SOC stock accounting method (fixed-depth (FD) vs. equivalent mass (ESM)) sampling depth requirement. Despite evidence that fixed-depth measurements can result error because changes bulk density 30 cm neglects a...
The advent of “natural climate solutions” and “climate smart agriculture” has increased interest in managing agricultural lands to sequester soil carbon mitigate change. This led enormous opportunities for scientists growers alike, as new initiatives are created by public, private, philanthropic entities. It also confusion over what is possible or practical achieve through management, formation storage complex, its response management context-dependent. can pose challenges decision makers...
Abstract. Subsoil carbon (C) stocks are a prime target for efforts to increase soil C storage climate change mitigation. However, subsoil dynamics not well understood, especially in soils under long-term intensive agricultural management. We compared and organic matter (SOM) composition tomato–corn rotations after 25 years of differing nutrient management the California Central Valley: CONV (mineral fertilizer), CONV+WCC fertilizer cover crops), ORG (composted poultry manure crops). The crop...
The framework of land degradation neutrality (LDN) and the concept sustainable management (SLM) are ways to instigate action required address degradation. Although water approaches supporting SLM achievement LDN exist, transition agricultural systems is hindered by various factors lagging behind. More information on such needed sensitize decision-makers for fostering their implementation. This study responds this need examining alignment following with LDN: agroecology, climate-smart...
Increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in agricultural soils can contribute to stabilizing or even lowering atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations. Cover crop rotation has been shown increase SOC and provide productivity benefits for agriculture. Here we used a split field design evaluate the short-term effect of cover on distribution chemistry using combination bulk, isotopic, spectroscopic analyses size-and density-separated aggregates. Macroaggregates (>250 µm)...
Abstract Biochar can deliver many agronomic benefits, though effects may be greatest in suboptimal agricultural soils. The objective of this study was to investigate biochar prime soils a Mediterranean climate. In 3‐year irrigated processing tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum ) field trials, which three biochars were amended sandy and silt loam, did not influence yield. Given the global policy focus on for climate change mitigation adaptation, however, it is essential measure more than just...
Abstract. Subsurface carbon stocks are a prime target for efforts to increase soil storage climate change mitigation and improving health. However, subsurface (C) dynamics not well understood, especially in soils under long term intensive agricultural management. We compared C tomato-corn rotations after 25 years of differing nutrient management the California Central Valley: CONV (mineral fertilizer), CONV+WCC fertilizer + cover crops) ORG (composted poultry manure crops). Our results...
