Measuring, Reporting and Verifying Soil Carbon Sequestration: Measurement or Modeling?

Description

There is a global interest in harnessing soil organic carbon (SOC) to mitigate climate change, enhance resilience, and ensure food security through Initiatives such as 4per1000. Concurrently, there is an urgent demand for credible and reliable measurement, reporting and verification frameworks for emission trading and national reporting.

This webinar explored the critical issue of Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) for soil carbon stocks. Distinguished speakers, Prof. Alex McBratney of the University of Sydney and Prof. Pete Smith of the University of Aberdeen, delved into measurement, modelling, and hybrid approaches.

They discussed their extensive research on technologies for measuring and auditing SOC change along with approaches in simulating and projecting change in SOC, and they shared their vision for a global framework for MRV of SOC stock change, supporting national and international endeavours, reshaping our approach to soil management.
