Calculation for soil organic carbon
Using a measure of bulk density the amount of carbon per hectare in a given depth of soil can be calculated as shown.
The amount of organic carbon to 10cm depth in soil with a carbon value of 1.5% and bulk density of 1.3g/cm 3 is: 15 (g C/kg soil) x 1 300 000 (kg soil/ha) = 19.5t C/ha or 1.5 x 1.3 x 10 = 19.5t C/ha
Soil Carbon Project activities and eligibility requirements - Projects must introduce one or more of the following activities:
- apply nutrients to the land
- apply lime to remediate acid soils
- apply gypsum to remediate sodic or magnesic soils
- undertake new irrigation
- re-establish or rejuvenate a pasture by seeding establishing or pasture cropping
- establishing, and permanently maintaining, a pasture where there was previously no or limited pasture, such as on cropland or bare fallow
- alter the stocking rate, duration or intensity of grazing
- retain stubble after a crop is harvested
- convert from intensive tillage practices to reduced or no tillage practices
- modify landscape or landform features to remediate land
- use mechanical methods to add or redistribute soil
- use legume species in cropping or pasture system, or
- use a cover crop to promote soil vegetation cover or improve soil health or both.
