The vast majority of the soil carbon is highly stable (non-labile), meaning it is significantly less subject to degradation, and carbon is being built and measured to a depth of 500mm.Extensive soil testing on*Winona*has shown that eliminating all cultivation other than the direct drilling for pasture cropping, together with rotational grazing, has enabled dramatic improvements in soil condition. Soil carbon has increased by 203% to 90 tonnes a hectare over a ten-year period. This equates to storage of around 170 tonnes of CO2*(equivalent) a hectare.Seventy-eight per cent of newly sequestered carbon is in the humic fraction of the soil [1]. This is non-labile, therefore much more stable and significantly less subject to degradation."Full project report link:<a href="https://soilsforlife03.worldsecuresystems.com/assets/doc/Full_Report.pdf" target="_blank">https://soilsforlife03.worldsecuresystems.com/assets/doc/Full_Report.pdf</a>Chosun  :gh:</blockquote>
