Australian Soil Carbon Accreditation Scheme(ASCAS)

摘要：

Introduction Australia has the highest per capita rate of greenhouse gas emissions in the world.Appropriately managed farmlands could effectively retrieve,store and utilise most of the excess carbon being emitted to the atmosphere,converting a potential hazard into an extremely productive opportunity.Humified organic carbon has many benefits in soils.The Australian Soil Carbon Accreditation Scheme (ASCAS) rewards landholders for adopting innovative techniques designed to sequester soil carbon.The ASCAS project is a first in the Southern Hemisphere,making Australia a world leader in the recognition of soils as a verifiable carbon sink.Effective carbon management is a key factor for productive farms,revitalised catchments and a greener planet.
