Soil Carbon... what we tested and why
Your Soil Carbon Results
Soil Carbon Results Raw Data (sorted Max to Min Carbon stocks)
BULK DENSITY
Bulk density significantly affects the potential for soil Carbon changes. The lower the value the easier improvement in SOC is. Reduced SOC gains can be expected where dulk density is above threshold.
SOC% and Carbon Stocks
The variation between SOC% and Carbon Stock per sample is where gravel and bulk density have been taken into account in the Carbon Stock values. SOC% does not account for the non-gravel portion of soil Table: Carbon Stock and SOC% per sample site

Cost-Benefit Analyses
Considerations:
can these be appreciably improved? what is the T/Ha_C gain expected in each Zone what are the inherent risks on this property to not gaining or losing SOC% over the duration of a project
