| Abstract: | Key findings »» Seasonal conditions and soil type have a greater effect on carbon than management. »» Providing necessary nutrients and pH for optimum pasture production will potentially increase soil carbon. »» Cropping in a good season might not decrease soil carbon stocks. Opportunities could exist for Monaro landholders to diversify their enterprises when the conditions are right without depleting their soil carbon. »» A rapid increase of soil carbon can easily be followed by a rapid decrease. »» For more information please see our eBook: Soil carbon in the Monaro region (https://itunes.apple.com/au/book/ id1035198100 or http://tinyurl.com/zrr9mht). |
