Unit Affiliation: Center for Climate Systems Research (CCSR)
DESCRIPTION: This project aims to provide small- to large-scale corn growers with low-cost soil carbon assessment and greenhouse (GHG) accounting tools, and provide policymakers with an evaluation of the current and long-term costs and benefits of various policy incentives for this sector of the agricultural economy. Collectively, these new tools will promote climate change mitigation, optimize farm productivity in the face of adapting to a changing climate, and have applications beyond corn production systems.
OUTCOMES: Our soil data will be shared with the USDA National Soil Survey Lab (running our MIR analyses) and will help to build their MIR database and evaluate the accuracy of their broadly based MIR calibrations for predicting total soil carbon and other soil characteristics.
