Quantitative soil, carbon, and environmental analysis for carbon markets, climate risk, and agricultural sustainability.
Soil carbon gains from practices like no-till and cover cropping are small and slow. Using real repeat-sample data and the VM0042 methodology, here is what it actually takes to detect a short term change in soil organic carbon.
Soil carbon can be found in organic and inorganic forms. Tracking total carbon instead of soil organic carbon can make detecting changes difficult, especially on calcareous soils.
An assessment of the 100 m Soil Landscape Grids of Canada (version dated 2026-02-11): the reported accuracy rests on out-of-bag error that overstates real performance, independent validation is weak, and covariate choices produce systematic artifacts. A preliminary product, not yet suitable for carbon accounting, modelling, or decision making.
