Soil organic matter represents a major store of world carbon and is therefore important in the fight against climate change. All agricultural soils in Wales store large quantities of carbon, typically 10-50 times more than is held in the overlying vegetation. Preserving and building this soil carbon store is important for locking up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and for helping to protect against future climate change.
Below you will find the Wales Soil Carbon Report, together with links to short, easy-to-understand fact sheets prepared by Bangor University as part of the SEREN project.
