Humus is an important indicator of soil quality and soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration is a cost-effective measure to reduce the climatic impact of food production systems. The national soil-monitoring program (SMP) show an upward trend in SOC during the past 20 years, mostly attributed to an increased proportion of forages. This analysis only considered the topsoil but our results are also indicating changes of SOC in the subsoil, which implies the effects of management are under-estimated. This project determines whole-soil profile SOC stocks in long-term field experiments, focusing on forage-based rotations. We are also harmonizing SOC data from the national SMP with that of the Ministry of Agriculture and large databases from farmers’ routine soil analysis. Results are integrated in extension service tools including the ICBM SOC model, used for estimating the climatic footprint of agricultural products, and support the 4 per mille initiative and Swedish GHG reporting system.
Mull är den viktigaste bördighetsfaktorn och kolfastläggning i mark är en av de mest kostnadseffektiva insatserna för att minska livsmedelsproduktionens klimatpåverkan. Den svenska miljöövervakningen visar att kolhalten i jordbruksmark har ökat de senaste 20 åren, främst på grund av en ökad andel vall. Hittills har dessa undersökningar begränsats till matjorden men våra analyser av djupare jordlager visar att även alven påverkas av olika odlings- och skötselåtgärder. Detta projekt avser att skatta kolförråden med fokus på vall i långliggande fältförsök och använda hela markprofilen. Informationen från miljöövervakningen kommer också att synkroniseras och jämföras med Jordbruksverkets markinventering samt stora databaser från jordbrukarnas rutinanalyser. För att skatta klimatpåverkan av jordbruksproduktion ska resultaten integreras i rådgivningsverktyg där kolbalansmodellen ICBM används. Resultat kommer också att understödja det s.k. 4-promille initiativet och svensk klimatrapportering.
