Managing Soil Organic Carbon: A Farm Perspective
type="graphical"> <p>Farming practices that lead to declining returns and inputs of carbon to soils pose a threat to key soil functions. The EU FP7 interdisciplinary project SmartSOIL is using scientific testing and modeling to identify management practices that can optimise soil carbon storage and crop productivity. A consultation with advisors and policymakers in six European case study regions seeks to identify barriers to, and incentives for, uptake of such practices. Results from preliminary interviews are reported. Overall advisor and farmer awareness of management practices specifically directed towards soil carbon is low. <blockFixed type="graphic" xml:id="euch12057-blkfxd-1001"> <mediaResourceGroup> <mediaResource alt="image" href="urn:x-wiley:14780917:euch12057:euch12057-toc-0001"/> </mediaResourceGroup> </blockFixed>
