Cropnuts’ Soil Baseline Carbon Mapping is a service that enables farmers and land managers to accurately measure and monitor the amount of carbon stored in their soils. By establishing a baseline measurement our experts can determine the total stocks of organic carbon present in the soil before the start of a project. This allows quantifying the future carbon removals/sequestrations in the lifetime of the project.

What is Soil Baseline Carbon Mapping?

Soil Baseline Carbon Mapping is a process of measuring and mapping the amount of carbon stored in the soil before any land use or management changes occur. By establishing a baseline, farmers and land managers can better understand the current state of their soil and track changes over time. Cropnuts experts use advanced techniques such as soil sampling, laboratory analysis, and GIS mapping to provide accurate and reliable data on soil carbon content.

Benefits of Soil Baseline Carbon Mapping:

1. Track carbon sequestration: Soil carbon is a critical component in mitigating climate change. By tracking soil carbon content over time, farmers can measure the effectiveness of their land management practices in sequestering carbon and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
2. Meet regulatory requirements: Soil Baseline Carbon Mapping is becoming increasingly important for meeting regulatory requirements related to carbon credits, carbon taxes, and sustainability certifications.
3. Optimize soil health: By monitoring soil carbon content, farmers can make informed decisions about the type and amount of fertilizers, organic matter, and other inputs required to improve soil health and increase crop yields.
