Analytical indicators for the CO2 storage potential in arable soils
Abstract
Agricultural soils can represent both sources and sinks for CO2 emissions. Land management is an important lever for long-term CO2 sequestration in the soils from the atmosphere. The 4 ‰ initiative resolved at the COP21 UN climate conference is based on the assumption that an increase in soil organic carbon of 4 ‰ per year can intercept the annual anthropogenic emissions in the soil. The aim of the sub-project AnIC4Soil is to determine indicators for soil organic carbon pools of different stability (mineral-associated pool, aggregate-associated pool, exposed pool) using modern analytical methods. These indicators should (1) provide information on the carbon sources in the different soil carbon pools and (2) enable the quantification of stable pools. The goal is to establish improved methods for determining the effectiveness of management changes on CO2 storage potential in arable soils.
