Funded Activity Summary

Enhancing long-term soil organic carbon sequestration. This project addresses National Research Priority One areas, restoration of land surfaces through sustainable land management practices and sequestration of carbon. The resulting data will be transferable to domestic and international sustainable agricultural and land rehabilitation applications. The project specifically addresses an area of global significance, the long-term, millennia rather than short-term sequestration of terrestrial carbon. There will be spin-off benefits including the provision of a formula for sustainable agriculture resources and localised employment opportunities, educational and financial incentives for farmers to improve on-farm soil health as well as health benefits from the reduction of atmospheric CO2.
