AN24346Can soil and tree carbon sequestration maintain zero net emissions grazing?
The inclusion of carbon sequestration in trees and soils to offset greenhouse gas emssions (GHGe) in agricultural carbon accounts, also known as carbon insetting, is a rapidly growing area of interest. Through a livestock enterprise case study, we demonstrated that although soil and tree carbon sequestration can produce low net emissions systems, they cannot maintain zero net emissions indefinitely. Whereas GHGe are continuous over time, sequestration eventually plateaus, further establishing the need for methods that avoid GHGe.
