Indicator: Soil Carbon Potential

Status	Automated on Landler
Description	Plot-level projections of future soil carbon stocks under different land management scenarios (e.g., reduced or no-till, applying manure and cover crops). This projection runs for 20 years, the typical assumption of when soil carbon processes reach an equilibrium.
Unit	Metric tons (total and per hectare)
Temporal Resolution	Annual projection into the future
Spatial Resolution	Field-level model, 250m input data
Input Data	IRSIC SoilGrids v2: organic carbon stock, bulk density, texture
Method	The soil carbon potential is modelled by coupling baseline soil carbon data with anticipated changes due to various land management practices. The baseline is the current status of soil carbon modelled by TLG historical assessment. The CoolFarmTool is utilized to assess the impact of different farm management scenarios on future soil carbon stocks.
