Scientific Studies

There is a considerable scientific evidence base underpinning the establishment of a soil carbon marketplace. This evidence is drawn from many decades of social, economic and environmental research into soil carbon. As a way into this wealth of information, you can find a list below of relevant and applicable studies covering the following areas:

  • Land management and soil organic carbon
  • Soil carbon and land use in the UK
  • Mechanisms regulating carbon in soils
  • Measuring, monitoring and verifying soil carbon stocks
  • Social, economic and policy background
  • Soil carbon and climate change
