In this session of the two-day hackathon, participants we divided into groups to develop a soil carbon accounting approach for one of four projects proposed by TNC, 4per1000, and World Bank for reducing accounting costs and uncertainties to achieve investor needs. A keynote presentation was given by Chandra Shekhar from the World Bank. This event w...
In this session of the two-day hackathon, participants sought to identify different soil carbon accounting approaches and issues that need to be addressed for these approaches to be used by the finance community and develop a collective understanding of available approaches to prepare for the next hacking session. This event was co-organized by CCA...
This event was co-organized by CCAFS-CGIAR, The Nature Conservancy, 4 per 1000 Executive Secretariat, World Bank and the Meridian Institute. / The purpose of this web seminar was to support investment-oriented actions promoting soil health and carbon storage by improving the accounting of soil carbon sequestration. We sought to answer the question:...
Increasing the storage of carbon in the soil has been a controversial strategy for addressing climate change mitigation. What is the potential and why is there debate about this? How can we push beyond the debate to constructive action? Lini Wollenberg, a Gund Fellow, is an anthropologist and natural resource management specialist concerned with ru...

The purpose of this work was to develop a model of the interaction process between the wheeled forwarder and the soil of the cutting area, which allows evaluating the influence of soil conditions, the parameters of the wheeled forwarder, as well as load and number of cycles of its application, on the indicators of resistance and adhesion of the for...
Soil microorganisms play a critical role in soil biogeochemical processes, nutrient cycling, and resilience of agri-food systems and are immensely influenced by agronomic management practices. Understanding soil bacterial community and nutrient dynamics under contrasting management practices is of utmost importance for building climate-smart agri-f...
In sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), few studies have quantified greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions following application of soil amendments, for development of accurate national GHG inventories. Therefore, this study quantified soil GHG emissions using static chambers for two maize cropping seasons (one full year) of four different soil amendments in the cent...
