Dear Subscribers,

Please see attached a paper on soil C storage under agroforestry and conservation agriculture systems in sub-Saharan Africa in the journal Soil and Tillage Research.

Thank you Dr. Corbeel for sharing.

Subject: Newly published paper on 4p1000 and soil carbon storage under agroforestry and conservation agriculture systems in sub-Saharan Africa
To: Amir Kassam <[log in to unmask]>


Dear Amir,

We just published a review paper on soil C storage under agroforestry and conservation agriculture systems in sub-Saharan Africa in the journal Soil and Tillage Research .
Please , see https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167198718301296 or attached a copy for personal use.

This paper may be of interest to the Community of Practice on Conservation Agriculture.

Highlights of the study:

    The 4‰ Initiative aims to increase global soil organic carbon at 4‰ yr−1.
    SOC data under agroforestry and conservation agriculture in Africa were reviewed.
    Published data show very large variability in SOC storage rates.
    SOC storage rates under multistrata agroforestry systems and systems with tree fallows are higher than 4‰ yr−1.
    Only rates under full conservation agriculture (3 principles) are higher than 4‰ yr−1.

With best regards,


Marc
