[QUOTE="Humble Village Farmer, post: 7855427, member: 142541"] I thought it was 3 tonnes per ha per year lost to the atmosphere from cultivated land. Obviously the deeper you go and the more you expose eg by total inversion, the more you lose. Also a bit obvious, but soils with more carbon are going to lose more, for instance, I doubt you would lose as much from ploughing an acre of the Sahara as from an acre of permanent pasture in the west of England. Undisturbed soils also fix more carbon, between 1 and 2 tonnes per ha per year, on top of what you would have lost if you cultivated it. [/QUOTE]
