233 Measuring and Accounting for Soil Carbon Pools: I

Oral Session
S07 Forest, Range & Wildland Soils
S7 held a symposium relating to soil C measurements as a part of an ecosystem C accounting/trading schemes. The symposium had its share of optimism and pessimism. Soil science is making solid progress in this field and it is a good time to revisit the issue.
