Role of nitrogen-rich compounds for increasing carbon sequestration in soil

该项目旨在揭示土壤中富氮化合物浓度的增加如何潜在地提高我们隔绝土壤有机碳的能力。这一点很重要，因为长期农业生产大大减少了土壤有机碳储量，并释放出作为温室气体的二氧化碳。该项目的预期成果包括提供开发预测碳模型以促进有效决策和改进管理所迫切需要的信息。该项目应能带来实质性效益，包括发挥澳大利亚土壤的固碳潜力，从而通过增加农场产出和减缓气候变化带来积极的经济成果。

This project aims to unravel how increasing concentrations of nitrogen-rich compounds in soils can potentially increase our ability to sequester soil organic carbon. This is significant because long-term agricultural production greatly reduces soil organic carbon stocks and releases carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas. Expected outcomes of this project include providing information that is urgently needed to develop predictive carbon models for effective policy-making and improved management. This project should provide substantial benefits, including fulfilling the carbon sequestration potential of Australia’s soils, thereby delivering positive economic outcomes through increased farm-gate output and mitigation of climate change.
