Shortlist of soil-based greenhouse gas removal practices selected following consideration of biophysical, economic and social impacts

The provided data presents a list of greenhouse gas removal practices for soil organic carbon sequestration, which are suitable under biophysical, economic and social consideration. The list is the result of the first step in analysing the potential of agricultural soils to sequester carbon globally and is part of the NERC funded project Soils-R-GGREAT (NE/P019455/1). The work is based on literature research and expert panel and judgements.

The work was supported by the Natural Environment Research Council (NE/P019455/1)

Report

Dataset Reference Date (): 2010-12-08

Statement: The short list of practices is the result of literature review and expert panel input and a step wise process of considering certain critical measures (e.g. increase of soil organic carbon (SOC); greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction e.g. carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane; system integration). The list is based on a range of practices already proposed to deliver soil carbon sequestration (SCS). First, specific practices were identified with potential for both a positive impact on SCS at farm level and an uptake rate compatible with global impact. These focus on: (a) optimising crop primary productivity; (b) reducing soil disturbance and managing soil physical properties; (c) minimising deliberate removal of C or lateral transport via erosion; (d) addition of C produced outside the system; (e) provision of additional C inputs within the cropping system. Then, economic and non‐cost barriers and incentives for land managers are considered, along with the potential externalised impacts of implementation.
