Digital tools for assessing soil organic carbon at farm and regional scale

Description

This chapter explores the digital tools for assessing soil organic carbon at farm and regional scale. It first reviews monitoring, reporting and verification frameworks, which is then followed by a discussion of the sampling strategies that can be used for soil organic carbon estimation. A section on data source integration is also provided, followed by a review of the effects of moisture on soil colour. The chapter also examines model calibration, proximal sensing, tools and frameworks available for soil organic carbon estimation.
