Greenhouse gases: requirements and guidelines for the quantification of GHG emission reduction and removal enhancements from land agronomic management practices cen:proj:74960

Scope

The protocol describes the requirements, methods and tools eligible to quantify carbon footprint from land agronomic practices. The protocol relies on the application of tested process-based crop and biogeochemistry models able to simulate the impact of agronomic land practices on SOC sequestration and GHG emissions reductions.
Key elements of the protocol include:
• Model input and source
• Model validation from measurements available from benchmarking sites or scientific literature for the area of evaluation • Quantification of model uncertainties
• List of agronomic management practices suitable to increase soil carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emission reductions
