Soil Organic Matter C-Lock project goals * Lecture 9. Carbon Sequestration in Agricultural Soils 1. The role of soil carbon sequestration 2. Soil C sequestration process 3. Soil carbon sequestration strategies and management practices 4. Methods of increasing soil carbon sequestration 5. Carbon sequestration potential in US The role of soil sequestration in reducing GHG emissions 1). Soil carbon is a major global carbon pool Global estimates of soil organic carbon (SOC) pool 0-1 m (Pg) 0-2 m (Pg) 0-3 m (Pg) Jobbagy and Jackson (2000) 1502 1993 2344 (Source: Jobbagy and Jackson (2000), Ecol. App. 10: 423-436) Global estimates of soil inorganic carbon (SIC) pool Reference SIC pool (Pg) Batjes(1996) 695-748 Eswaran et al. (2000) 940 Schlesinger (1982) 780-930 2) Direct link between soil and the atmospheric carbon pool - cultivation of virgin soils or conversion of natural to agricultural ecosystems leads to depletion of SOC with the emission of GHGs (CO2 and CH4) e.g. the reduction in SOC pool by 1Pg is equivalent to an atmospheric enrichment of CO2 by 0.47 ppm 3). Misuse agricultural soils can be a major sources of GHGs e.g. From 1850 to 1998, global CO2 emissions are estimated to have been : from land use change: 136±55Pg from soil cultivations: 78 ± 17Pg During the 1990s, about 25% of global GHGs emissions came from land-use change and soil cultivation (IPCC, 1996) The C Cycle in Agricultural Ecosystems Cropped soils have been historically depleted in SOC, which can be regained with improved management C Sequestration and Management Erosion Manage.
