Detection of differences in soil carbon and nitrogen stocks between paired dairy and drystock pastures A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Earth Sciences at The University of Waikato by TIMOTHY NORRIS 2014 II III III Introduction ABSTRACT Soil is the largest terrestrial store of carbon (C) with some 2000 Pg to a depth of 1 m compared to 500 Pg in the atmosphere. Maximizing storage of C in soil is not only important for reducing atmospheric CO2 concentrations but also for maintaining soil quality. Recent research has shown that land use management is a key factor in determining the storage of C in pastoral systems. Barnett et al. (2014, AEE 185:34-40) used a paired pit approach to sample 25 adjacent dairy and drystock pastures to a fixed depth of 0.6 m and showed that soils under drystock sites had about 8.6 t.ha-1 more C in the top soil than adjacent dairy sites (P<0.05).
