Carbon sequestration in the soil when crop rotation improves

What do you see? This map shows the potential carbon sequestration in the soil for the measure to improve crop rotations. This measure includes the insertion of different crops into a building plan, which can lead to an increase in organic matter content, for example by including grass in rotation. The map shows that the potential of this measure compared to other measures is quite high, especially in the typical arable areas (Veenkoloniën, Flevoland and Zeeland). What’s the value? This card, together with the maps for the other measures, provides insight into where in the Netherlands a certain measure can be effective for carbon sequestration in agricultural soils. Who is this important to? This map is important for policy makers and researchers involved in climate mitigation (carbon sequestration), but also for the agricultural sector where soil organic matter is an important indicator of soil quality.
