Recarbonizing global soils – A technical manual of recommended management practices by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations,Intergonevernmental Technical Panel on Soils Pdf

During the last decades, soil organic carbon (SOC) attracted the attention of a much wider array of specialists beyond agriculture and soil science, as it was proven to be one of the most crucial components of the earth’s climate system, which has a great potential to be managed by humans. Soils as a carbon pool are one of the key factors in several Sustainable Development Goals, in particular Goal 15, “Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss” with the SOC stock being explicitly cited in Indicator 15.3.1. This technical manual is the first attempt to gather, in a standardized format, the existing data on the impacts of the main soil management practices on SOC content in a wide array of environments, including the advantages, drawbacks, and constraints. This manual presents different sustainable soil management (SSM) practices at different scales and in different contexts, supported by case studies that have been shown with quantitative data to have a positive effect on SOC stocks and successful experiences of SOC sequestration in practical field applications. Volume 1 is an introduction to the full collection and presents the detailed methodology and structure of the following volumes.

Volume 2 includes a description of hot spots of SOC stocks. This manual defines hot spots of SOC as areas that represent a proportionally little of the global land surface but on which SOC storage is highly effective; bright spots as large land areas with low SOC stocks per km2 that represent a potential for further carbon sequestration.

Global soil organic carbon sequestration potential map (GSOCseq v1.1) – Technical manual by Peralta, G., Di Paolo L., Luotto, I., Omuto, C., Mainka M., Viatkin, K., Yigini, Y. Pdf

Responding to a request for support in addressing the Sustainable Development Goal Indicators, especially Indicator 15.3 which includes the restoration of degraded soils, the Global Soil Partnership (GSP) Plenary Assembly in 2020 instructed the Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils (ITPS) and the GSP Secretariat to develop the Global Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration Potential map (GSOCseq map), following the same country-driven approach developed for the Global Soil Organic Carbon map (GSOCmap). This ‘bottom-up’ approach is expected to generate a GSOCseq map from national SOCseq maps, developed and validated by local experts, based on the implementation of SOC models using standardized procedures and by leveraging the best available local data.

Voluntary Guidelines for Sustainable Soil Management by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Pdf

The Voluntary Guidelines for Sustainable Soil Management (VGSSM) embody a framework for worldwide application addressing sustainable management of soils (SSM) in all type of land use systems. They promote the effective and viable maintenance and enhancement of the ecosystem services that soils provide such as food, feed, fiber production, climate regulation, nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration, and the regulation of water quality and quantity. Their overarching goals are to achieve food security for all, improve nutrition and support the progressive realization of a judicious management of non-renewable natural resource in the context of sustainable development. They represent a key output for the Global Soil Partnership that demonstrate once again to be an effective global policy forum where global soil issues are discussed and addressed by multiple stakeholders. The Guidelines serve as both a complementary tool fostering the implementation of the revised World Soil Charter and as a reference for a wide range of committed stakeholders, such as government officials, policy makers, farmers, pastoralists, forest and land managers, extension specialists and agricultural advisors, development partners, civil society, private sector and, academia, etc. The VGSSM’s added value is in its principal aim: setting out established scientific principles and internationally acknowledged recommended management practices for the responsible governance of soils. By setting out these technical and policy recommendations, they provide guidance to all stakeholders on how sustainable soil management can be achieved.

Mapping of salt-affected soils – Technical manual by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Pdf

Salt-affected soils such as saline or sodic soils are distributed in all continents at various levels of problem intensity. They are soils with high amounts of soluble salts and/or sodium ions. An updated information of their distribution and drivers is a first step towards their sustainable management. This book provides technical guidelines and approach for developing a harmonized multiscale soil information of salt-affected soils. The book is organized into three sections covering seven chapters. The sections are sequentially arranged but independently designed to benefit focused readership who may want to go straight to any section. Section 1 gives the background information. It has three chapters covering existing literature on the characteristics and mapping methods for salt problems in the soil. It is intended to illustrate the basic concepts, linkage of the characteristics of salt-affected soils with input data requirements for their mapping, existing classification methods, and global distribution of these soils. Section 2 covers the methodological procedures for developing multiscale spatial information of salt-affected soils. It has two chapters describing requirements, input data preparation, and the procedural steps for developing spatial information of salt-affected soils. It outlines how data from different sources and characteristics are harmonized and integrated to produce information of salt-affected soils. Section 3 covers information sharing and resources mobilization when developing information on salt-affected soils. It gives the guidelines for preparing spatial maps and steps for value-addition to benefit end-users of the information. It also contains a generic training program for building technical capacity for mapping salt-affected

Global Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration Potential Map – GSOCseq v.1.1 by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Pdf

This document presents the technical details of the first ever country-driven Global Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration Potential Map (GSOCseq). This map allows for the estimation of top (0–30 cm) soil organic carbon sequestration potential in agricultural areas under a business as usual and three sustainable soil management scenarios. The Global Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration Potential Map (GSOCseq) stands out as a game-changing program aimed at bridging this divide by raising technical expertise on SOC sequestration potential modeling and mapping while relying on a uniquely participatory and iterative process. The GSOCseq v1.1 was developed based on the submissions of national experts appointed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Member Nations. Each of the appointed National Experts generated national maps following a bottom-up approach that was facilitated and coordinated by the Secretariat of FAO’s Global Soil Partnership (GSP).

Plans and Policies for Soil Organic Carbon Management in Agriculture by Ram Swaroop Meena,Cherukumalli Srinivasa Rao,Arvind Kumar Pdf

This edited book discusses how effective soil carbon management plans and policies will ultimately make agriculture more secure against climate change and soil degradation. It is focused on initiatives to enhance soil organic carbon (SOC) and sequestration by launching different schemes and programs. An approach based on practical aspects of managing SOC in agriculture is provided with clear and concise descriptions. It has more attention to successfully implement plans and policies to meet the required level of SOC restoration. The book is covering the urgent needs of plans and policies for soil management and C restoration in agricultural ecosystems which can be beneficial to food, nutrition, environment, and economy security. There is also providing a roadmap on SOC policies to encourage the use of best management practices (BMPs) for soil health and C stock restoration, and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. The book is suitable for teachers, researchers, government planners and policymakers, undergraduate and graduate students of soil science, soil microbiology, agronomy, ecology, and environmental sciences.
