Krug and Steven E. Hollinger Prepared for the Illinois Council on Food and Agricultural Research (C-FAR) March 2003 Illinois State Water Survey Atmospheric Environment Section Office of the Chief Champaign, Illinois A Division of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources Identification of Factors that Aid Carbon Sequestration in Illinois Agricultural Systems Edward C. Krug and Steven E. Hollinger FINAL REPORT to Illinois Council on Food and Agricultural Research (C-FAR) on Contract IDACF 02E 14 5 WS Steven E. Hollinger Principal Investigator Illinois State Water Survey 2204 Griffith Drive Champaign, Illinois 61820-7495 March 2003 Identification of Factors that Aid Carbon Sequestration in Illinois Agricultural Systems Executive Summary Soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration is important to climate change and cropland agriculture. Crops naturally use the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide (CO2), from the atmosphere; the greater the crop productivity the greater the amount of CO2 used. Agronomic practices that enhance sequestration of crop biomass in soil as SOC also enhance removal of CO2 from the atmosphere, and improve and sustain soil fertility. To effectively reduce the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere and mitigate climate change, sequestration of SOC must be long term, defined as decades or longer. This report presents a review and synthesis of scientific understanding of SOC sequestration, based on the history and genesis of soils and vegetation in Illinois, and the response of SOC and crops to agronomic practices.
