  7. Carbon Sequestration • How does carbon sequestration work? • Reducing atmospheric CO2, that is sequestering carbon, can take place three ways: • Carbon production or trapping carbon within plants. • Minimizing organic carbon mineralization. • Reducing soil erosion and keeping carbon trapped in the soil.

Understanding which Sequestration techniques are the most Effective and Available • Terrestrial carbon sequestration • Importance of agricultural and forestry sequestration activities • Amount of carbon agricultural and forestry sequester • Measuring carbon sequestration • Amount of carbon sequestration in the U.S. • Other environmental effects of sequestration practices • Carbon sequestration and climate change • Sequestration compared with other GHG reductions

  20. Explaining the methodology for accounting carbon sequestration and implement these techniques • USDA’s Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse Gases-CarbOn Management Evaluation Tool (COMET-VR ).Participants need the following information about each parcel: • The location • The area in English or Metric units • The land management type (i.e., Agricultural or Forest) • The soil surface texture and hydric condition • The management history for four time periods • For more information visit: www.usda.gov/oce/global_change/gg_reporting.htmor www.pi.energy.gov/enhancingGHGregistry/.
