How To Measure Soil Carbon
Measuring carbon in the atmosphere for the Northern Hemisphere is tracked by sensors (some developed by Lincoln Nebraska’s LI-COR Biosciences) at the Mauna Loa, Hawaii monitoring location. Atmospheric carbon data is updated on a regular basis and available for use by anyone. Unfortunately there…
Managing Soil Carbon
In a previous post we discussed soil organic matter and the storage of carbon in soil. The key point, plants in association with soil biology create a super highway moving carbon from the atmosphere into soil. This super highway is known as the liquid…

Soil organic matter makes up a small part of all soils. In this area of Nebraska, cropland fields will average around 3% organic matter. SOM is a small but powerful part of any soil. SOM can be thought of as the Soil Bank where…
