Using Wood Chips to Boost Soil Organic Matter and Sequester Carbon
Enhancing soil health and sequestering carbon through on-site wood chip application in regenerative agriculture
or
Detail description
Using wood chips in soils enhances organic matter, sequesters CO2 (up to 5.1 t/ha over five years), improves water retention and nutrient cycling, reduces nitrate leaching, and supports soil health—particularly in clay and sandy soils—when applied at 10 t/ha in autumn with on-site shredding and shallow incorporation.
