<p align="LEFT">"MODELLING WORK KEY TO UNDERSTANDING LONG TERM EFFECTS ON SOIL CARBON: Two models, CenW and the Hurley Pasture model, continue to be used in parallel with experimental field work. These provide different, yet complementary, approaches to understanding short and long term effects on soil carbon levels of management techniques and on-farm changes. Our findings include demonstrating that feeding supplements to dairy cows improves efficiency - increasing product produced per hectare while reducing losses of nitrogen, and increasing carbon sequestration per hectare on farm."</p>
