Our subproject of the integrated project CARBIOCIAL will provide information about the soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, as well as the quality and function of SOM, how these parameters are influenced by land use and under changing climate and, finally, identify what innovative management tools can be used to increase C storage in stable SOM pools and to improve SOM and quality of soils along the agricultural frontier in Brazil.
