Grazing Land Management and Soil Carbon in the Western Great Plains
The Western Great Plains consists mainly of shortgrass prairie, especially blue grama grass that is typically less than 6 inches (15 cm) tall.
What is Root Zone Enrichment?
Root zone enrichment enhances the nutrients, water, and other growth-promoting substances around the root zone.
Kentucky Bluegrass and Carbon Sequestration
Kentucky bluegrass has a shallower root system than prairie grasses, but it still stores organic carbon in its roots and in the soil.
Can You Really Change Soil Carbon?
What would it take to change the amount of carbon in the soil? The obstacles aren’t just scientific. It takes interest and incentives.
Ultisols: Properties, Problems, and Land Management Solutions
Ultisols present challenges for farmers and ranchers, but effective land management practices can mitigate the problems with these soils.
Prairie Grasses and Carbon Sequestration
Prairie grasses can store carbon more deeply in the soil, where it’s less likely to be released back into the atmosphere.
What Determines Soil Carbon Levels in North Carolina?
No-till farming can increase soil carbon in the top 12 inches of soil, but grasslands still store more carbon than crop land.
Bulk Density of Soil Explained
Bulk density is a measure of the mass of soil per unit volume. It’s usually expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).
