2020 Christine Jones - Biological Pathways to Carbon Rich Soil
https://www.phwealth.co.nz/media/qd3pjqa2/2020-09-28-jones-edited-overview.pdf

Soil is by far the largest terrestrial sink for carbon. The world’s topsoils hold three times as much carbon as the vegetation. When subsoils are taken into account, that figure doubles. Despite their lower carbon concentrations, subsoil horizons contribute to more than half of global soil carbon stocks (6). An analysis of 2,700 soil profiles in global databases revealed the percentage of organic carbon in the top 20 cm - relative to the first metre - averaged 33%, 42%, and 50% for shrublands, grasslands and forests, respectively (6) By subtraction, if 42% of the carbon in the top metre of grassland soils is in the 0-20cm increment, then 58% is in the 20-100cm increment. In short, deep carbon matters. There is a need to reassess the shallow sampling depths used for calculating soil carbon stocks, particularly in light of the evidence for the responsiveness of deep soil carbon to changes in land use and vegetation

DNF: souhlasim, tohle neni e2e lifecycle uhlikova stopa, nicmene message clanku ma opodstatneni. nemyslet si, ze sezenim u kompu zachranuju planetu, kdyz ho vcetne internetu zdimu na max...

SHEFIK: jo, tak jako popikovej clanek asi dobry, ale to srovnani je tak trochu divny, za virtualni koncerenci tam spocita malem i cestu na zachod, ale auta samozrejme maji jako uhlikovou stopu jen spotrebovanej benzin. Sure.

GLOBETROTTER: ROFL, toť bulvár jak blesk. Je to klasickej pripad falešné argumentace. Sugestivní titulek a ještě vtipnější podtitulek. Než aby se řešila podstata věci - privatizace agrarniho sektoru v zemi, kde je na něm zavisla polovina obyvatel - dochází k shamingu aktérky...

TADEAS, TADEAS:

New research challenges scientific orthodoxy on the role of grazing livestock in relation to emission reduction targets

the scheme involved cattle ranches and the very significant soil carbon gains made by them: 0.8% per year of organic matter; in other words double the 4 per 1000 target set by the French Minister Stéphane Le Foll at the COP21 Paris summit where he announced his ‘quatre per mille’ scheme.

If this level of soil organic matter gain can be verified through ongoing research and monitoring using evolving and ever more sophisticated techniques for measuring soil organic matter, this represents a very significant breakthrough. In combination with the new information from Professor Myles Allen of Oxford University on the reduced impact of methane on climate change, there is a compelling argument for the scientific community to reassess the role of holistic grazing systems involving ruminant livestock – which could make a very significant contribution towards reducing climate change impacts.

This potential is highlighted in the press release from Wilmot Farms, who have calculated that were these soil carbon gains to be replicated across all the cattle farming grasslands in Australia, it would have the potential to sequester just under one quarter of Australia’s total greenhouse gas emissions. It should also be emphasised that this is a net calculation which includes the counter benefit of the methane emissions from grazing animals, which makes it even more significant.

The press release states that, ‘In the farming and grazing context alone, it’s estimated that the widespread adoption of carbon-friendly practices could potentially sequester between 125 Mt and 374 Mt of CO2e per year, representing between 23% and 70% of Australia’s current total annual national greenhouse gas emissions.’
