Soil sequestration
About soil sequestration:
Soil sequestration is a process where atmospheric CO2 deposits into the soil on pastoral farmland, in the form of soil organic carbon (SOC).
How does this happen?
Pasture absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere as it grows and is then grazed by livestock. During this process carbon enters the soil from the pasture roots and from livestock manure. A percentage of the carbon that enters the soil becomes stabilised through the process of humification.
Quantification:
Soil sequestration is able to be directly quantified via soil sampling.
Carbon estimation areas (CEAs) are defined via GIS technologies.
Carbon credits are issued via a publicly verifiable accounting network.
