<p>As part of an joint New Zealand/Australian research project funded via the New Zealand Government's commitment to the Global Research Alliance on agricultural greenhouse gases&nbsp;and the Australian Filling the Research Gap programme, New Zealand researchers have produced a new, cost effective technology and method to provide improved estimations of soil carbon stocks on farm.</p>
<p>The project used soil spectroscopy for rapid soil carbon analysis, and provides digital soil mapping for accurate assessment of the spatial variability of soil carbon stocks.</p>
<p>A case study produces a farm scale soil carbon map for Massey University's Tuapaka hill country farm near Palmerston North.</p>
