Title of Contract, Award, or Gift: Assessing Soil CO2 Emissions using an Automated Soil Carbon Flux Monitoring System
Name of Granting or Contracting Agency/Entity:
USDA-National Institute of Food And Agriculture
CFDA: 10.519
Program Title: Equipment Grants Program
Note:
1.1.1 It is necessary to monitor soil carbon under different agricultural management practices to effectively quantify greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and address climate change issues. The Soil CO2 equipment allows continuously measure soil CO2 at the testbed and aligns with the measurement of atmospheric CO2 using existing Flux Tower. Soil and atmospheric CO2 measurements will help characterize/quantify carbon sequestration and GHG. Our project builds on the USDA-NIFA Capacity Building and Evans Allen funds which research testbed on the PVAMU farm recently established.
