Biochar is a stable, carbon-rich form of charcoal that can be added to soil to sequester carbon and reduce net greenhouse gas emissions.
Nitrous oxide, a highly active greenhouse gas, is released from pastures and crops using nitrogen fertilisers.
Organic carbon has declined in most Western Australian agricultural soils, as a result of land clearing and agricultural practices.
This page provides guidelines for sampling, measuring, assessing and reporting soil organic carbon in agricultural soils of Western Australia.
Acid soils cause significant losses in production and biomass, which restricts the ability to sequester carbon.
The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development provides some answers to frequently asked questions from growers and advisors about soil organic matter, soil biology and the relations
Soil microbes often require nitrogen (N) to breakdown organic matter in soil.
