[QUOTE="N.Yorks., post: 7891315, member: 46426"] You are mad to do this!!! Have you not seen the data about Nitrous oxide emissions from land that has had soil carbon % increased? It's dangerous to just focus on Carbon as the consequence of increasing soil carbon may well be increase in NO2 emissions which have a global warming potential approx 300x greater than CO2, and potentially greater net warming potential. The jury is still out on the whole issue of soil carbon - which is why it hasn't been woven into SFI etc. Yes soil OM increase has been included because of the wider ecosystem benefits - water retention, better soil structure, better drainage, nutrient cycling etc. It aint as simple as saying more soil carbon is better and it really isn't safe to claim that increased soil carbon can be traded - madness.
