The first steps in the research programme involve defining the upper limits of C storage in New Zealand soils and determining how close our soils are to that upper limit. This Objective seeks to address one of these first key steps, i.e. to define the upper limits of carbon storage in New Zealand agricultural soils.<br /> <span class=\"h6\"><br /> Objective 3.2</span><a title=\"Obj3.2\" name=\"Obj3.2\"></a><br /> <span class=\"h6\"><span class=\"h5\">Quantifying the carbon currently stored in New Zealand soils </span></span></p>\r\n<p><span class=\"h7\">Leader: </span>Dr Allan Hewitt (Landcare Research)<br /> <span class=\"h7\">NZAGRC funding: </span>April 2010 - June 2012</p>\r\n<p>This work complements research in Objective 3.1 and aims to determine the current status of carbon stocks in New Zealand agricultural soils.

The extremely long time frame for measurable changes in soil C stocks, its spatial and temporal variability, and the difficulty involved in measuring changes in the rate of sequestration, means that process-based dynamic models are an inescapable tool for generating insights into the drivers of soil C change. Such models are also essential to foresee what impacts strategies for changing soil C would have on emissions of methane, nitrous oxide, and on agricultural productivity.</p>\r\n<p><br /> <span class=\"h6\">Objective 3.4</span><a title=\"Obj3.4\" name=\"Obj3.4\"></a><br /> <span class=\"h6\"><span class=\"h5\">Manipulation of carbon inputs, incorporation and retention to protect and enhance soil carbon </span></span></p>\r\n<p><span class=\"h7\">Leader:</span> Dr David Whitehead (Landcare Research)<br /> <span class=\"h7\">NZAGRC funding:</span> April 2010 - June 2014</p>\r\n<p>The aim of this Objective is to use measurements and models to quantify changes in soil carbon storage following experimental manipulation that could be applied as farm management practices.

The first steps in the research programme involve defining the upper limits of C storage in New Zealand soils and determining how close our soils are to that upper limit. This Objective seeks to address one of these first key steps, i.e. to define the upper limits of carbon storage in New Zealand agricultural soils.  Objective 3.2 Quantifying the carbon currently stored in New Zealand soils \r\nLeader: Dr Allan Hewitt (Landcare Research) NZAGRC funding: April 2010 - June 2012\r\nThis work complements research in Objective 3.1 and aims to determine the current status of carbon stocks in New Zealand agricultural soils. Objectives 3.1 and 3.2 will work in tandem to contribute to the development of a robust methodology for estimating the potential of NZ agricultural soils to increase soil carbon storage.\r\n Objective 3.3 Process-based modelling of drivers of soil carbon change \r\nLeader: Professor Tony Parsons (Massey University) NZAGRC funding: April 2010 - June 2014\r\nOur capacity to manipulate soil C (stocks and sequestration rates) depends on how well we understand the fundamental drivers of C supply, transformations and stability, in the whole agricultural system. The extremely long time frame for measurable changes in soil C stocks, its spatial and temporal variability, and the difficulty involved in measuring changes in the rate of sequestration, means that process-based dynamic models are an inescapable tool for generating insights into the drivers of soil C change. Such models are also essential to foresee what impacts strategies for changing soil C would have on emissions of methane, nitrous oxide, and on agricultural productivity.\r\n Objective 3.4 Manipulation of carbon inputs, incorporation and retention to protect and enhance soil carbon \r\nLeader: Dr David Whitehead (Landcare Research) NZAGRC funding: April 2010 - June 2014\r\nThe aim of this Objective is to use measurements and models to quantify changes in soil carbon storage following experimental manipulation that could be applied as farm management practices. The research will move beyond quantification of the amounts of carbon in soils, to understanding the processes driving soil carbon storage in relation to farm management.\r\n Objective 3.5 Improved soil carbon measurements \r\nLeader: Professor Frank Kelliher (AgResearch) NZAGRC funding: April 2010 - June 2014\r\nThis objective\'s goal is improved methods to verify temporal changes in soil carbon (C) storage and accounting rules suitable for a national inventory of agricultural soils. Soils data in New Zealand are fragmented, geographic coverage limited and most samples have come from a depth < 0.1 m. It will be difficult to verify slow, relatively small and variable changes of C storage rate in pastoral agricultural soils.

The farms now have substantial, robust data and baseline farm systems models which demonstrate the extent to which the key management decisions and efficiency drivers impact on current emissions intensity. The farms are at very different points in development cycle, so provide useful perspectives for informing the wider industry.\r\nPractice-change scenarios have been modelled to predict emissions intensity for Onetai station, a coastal sheep and beef farm in the King country. Scenarios incorporating increased fertiliser use and finishing more stock on farm have predicted a 20 to 38% improvement in emissions intensity is possible.\r\nScenarios modelled for Highlands (South Canterbury) monitor farm demonstrate the potential for a win-win solution when the area sown in Lucerne and Tall Fescue is increased. This enables more lambs to be finished earlier and results in a large a large effect on lowering emissions intensity. This scenario is assessed as being readily adoptable by farmers.\"\r\n \r\nRead full annual report', '34218d2c174cf9c2a7e706b1aa81dcb7', 309, 'published', 4, '2017-05-17 22:55:19', NULL, '2017-05-17 22:55:19'),
