1. Studies of Agricultural Effects on Groundwater Quality in KentuckySeveral small watersheds and tiled fields have been selected in Kentucky to assess the influence of agricultural practices on groundwater quality. Sites were selected to represent the dominant agricultural systems used in the most agriculturally important areas of the state. Within each study site, water samples from springs, wells, streams, or tile lines are being sampled monthly to monitor content of N03-N, atrazine. alachlor, and fecal bacteria. Although sampling will continue for at least another... |
2. Carbon Credit and Sequestration in Agroecosystems; Lessons from Trials in Southern IllinoisA carbon (C) credit is the attribution of net CO2-C equivalent which can be used to decrease climate forcing through a given practice or farming system for a given unit time. Carbon credits allow industries to purchase C that is produced on a farm (i.e., offsets). Carbon can be captured in two ways; (i) by capturing and reducing greenhouse gasses (on a CO2-C equivalent basis), and/or (ii) by increasing soil organic C stocks. Therefore, to enable C credits in the agricultural... A. Sadeghpour, A.M. Weidhuner, G. Burkett, O. Zandvakili, O. Adeyemi, C. Kula, J. Berberich, J. Pike, A.J. Margenot |
