T/ZGCERIS 00011-2018 Soil carbon sequestration accounting technical specifications for farmland
Basic Information
Scope
Scope: This standard specifies the accounting method for soil carbon sequestration changes caused by changes in soil organic carbon, as well as data collection and data quality requirements. This standard is applicable to the accounting of soil carbon sequestration changes in farmland (dryland, paddy fields, vegetable fields, and orchards), such as the accounting of soil carbon sequestration changes in farmland in the Beijing area. Main technical content: This standard provides two methods for accounting of soil carbon sequestration in farmland, namely the actual measurement method and the estimation method. The former is calculated based on the measured soil organic matter content and is preferred for use. The latter is calculated based on the parameter data of different soil carbon sequestration technologies that have been publicly published, and is suitable for situations where soil organic matter content data are unavailable.
