First carbon measurement Flemish soil. All land uses are useful for carbon sequestration
...Fisheries and Food Research), has been able to measure for the first time in 50 years the amount of carbon in the soil across all land uses. This surprisingly shows that there is no difference in t...
Reliable and cost-effective monitoring of carbon sequestration by carbon agriculture?
Carbon agriculture aims to sequester carbon in soil and woody biomass as a win-win for farmer, climate and society. Carbon agriculture allows the farmer to both work on soil health and receive compens...
