Targeted management of organic matter in Lower Austrian soils
Abstract
Efficient management of soil organic matter requires not only data on the current status of organic carbon content in soils but also information on the carbon deficit. The latter determines if a soil can sequester additional carbon or if the soil is already saturated. The contribution of the Institute of Soil Research to the project addresses the calculation and GIS mapping of carbon deificits and saturation portentials in Lower Austrian soils, including soil group-specific data analysis. The results of this research will serve as a tool for more effective, soil- and site-specific management of organic matter in cultivated soils of Lower Austria.
