A Curtin University study by Professor Raphael A. Viscarra Rossel from the Soil &
Landscape Science Department, on Soil Carbon Sequestration identifies that:

 * Soil C has multiple benefits: soil resilience (adaptation to climate change);
   soil and ecosystem health — not just climate change mitigation or economics.
 * Assessments of potential C capture and benefits of soil C need to be site-specific
   considering local soil, environmental, management, socioeconomic conditions.
 * Although we have the methods for measuring soil C change, there is an urgent 
   need for developing practical tools for measurement, monitoring and verification.
 * Science and innovation are essential, supported by government initiatives and
   policies.
 * Soil C is not a ‘silver bullet’ — should be part of the solution.
