Abstract This article reviews nine soil carbon interventions to reduce losses or increase stocks in grazing management systems, using their potential application Aotearoa New Zealand (A‐NZ) as a case study. The are classified into three strategies: (1) increasing inputs through deep‐rooting and diverse species grasslands, reducing forage cropping deferred management; (2) protection of by water table on organic soils, full inversion tillage grassland renewal, the addition clay minerals enhanced rock weathering (3) adoption integrated systems including establishing tree clusters grasslands agroforestry. We estimated land area where these could realistically be implemented A‐NZ assessed impact mitigating national overall agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. each intervention ranged from <1% 2.5% emissions over 20 years. However, confidence approaches is hindered lack research data have been tested for different types conditions. Notably, management, which reduces loss was only that achieve moderate, short‐ long‐term impacts with level ‘likely’. conclude further achieving modest increases possible but will require economic political incentives encourage integration multiple at farm scale.

Abstract The new world challenges under climate change call for eco-friendly practices that make agriculture’s economic and social dimensions compatible with environmental preservation ecosystem resilience. Carbon farming has emerged as an interesting alternative dealing these frameworks, it promotes conservation agriculture increase carbon sequestration in soils plants. Considering motivations, this research intends to bring more insights into the levels of soil organic (SOC) Portuguese context, variable is interrelated land use, attributes, characteristics. Statistical information from INFOSOLO legacy database was analyzed through statistical methodologies machine-learning approaches. findings provide support stakeholders about influence use types on SOC.
