Burying Carbon - potential to enhance carbon sequestration without reducing grass productivity Soil carbon sequestration is recognised in the current National Climate Action Plan 2019 as an important strategy to off-set increases in atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions. Agriculture is ideally placed to help increase sequestration, however more information is needed on the management practices to achieve this goal. The effect of deep ploughing of grassland soil on increasing soil carbon sequestration was recently investigated in an International project across multiple sites in Ireland, Germany and New Zealand. Speaking of the project, Dr. Dominika Krol, Teagasc Researcher based at Johnstown Castle, said that ‘deep ploughing to approximately 40cm, inverts grassland soil depositing the carbon-rich topsoil to lower layers, effectively burying and protecting this carbon stock below the zone where soil biology is most active. Simultaneously the soil from lower layers is brought to t
