Title: Soil carbon sequestration potential of US croplands and grasslands: Implementing the 4 per Thousand Initiative.
Authors: Chambers, Adam1, Lal, Rattan2, Paustian, Keith3
Source: Journal of Soil & Water Conservation. May/Jun2016, Vol. 71 Issue 3, p68A-74A. 7p.
Subjects: Carbon in soils, Farms, Grasslands, Soil fertility, Factors of Soil Formation (Book), Climate change mitigation
Geographic Terms: United States
Abstract: The article discusses a study on the implementation of the 4 per Thousand Initiative and soil carbon sequestration potential of the US croplands and grasslands. Topics include scientific interest in managing soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in the U.S. because of its importance to soil fertility, importance of the soil-climate nexus expressed through the book "Factors of Soil Formation", and need for the addressing policy challenges to harness the potential of soils to mitigate climate change.
