http://www.usda.gov/oce/gcpo/sequeste.htm

Extractions: Frequently Asked Questions What is soil carbon sequestration? What agricultural and forestry activities sequester carbon? Soil conservation practices not only reduce soil erosion but also increase the organic matter content of soils. Principal conservation strategies which sequester carbon include converting marginal lands to compatible land use systems, restoring degraded soils, and adopting best management practices. For example, removing agriculturally marginal land from production and adopting an ecologically compatible land use, such as wildlife habitat, can lead to increases in total biomass production and an increase in carbon content in the soil. USDA programs such as the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), the Wetland Reserve Program (WRP), the Stewardship Incentive Program (SIP), Forestry Incentives Program (FIP) and the Secretary's conservation buffer strip initiative all help increase soil organic carbon Also important are various strategies for sustainable management of the soil, such as: (1) conservation tillage: (2) management of crop residue and application of organic materials and manures; (3) soil fertility optimization through site-specific management; (4) elimination of summer (bare) fallow; (5) use of winter cover crops and rotations; and (6) other techniques that may improve crop yields and reduce on-site and off-site production risks. How much carbon could actually be sequestered though these activities?

Lectures are presented on conservation principles and measures used on U.S. farms. The course is designed for students who will be involved in production agriculture, or soil conservation, or who will be participating in public decisions related to conservation of soil and water issues. Each student will acquire knowledge on specific practices to alleviate soil and water conservation problems, to understand the principles upon which these practices are based, and the challenges which may arise with there use. Lectures will relate to the physical processes associate with soil and water conservation, social and economic interactions and assess the role of government at various levels in the solution of soil and water conservation challenges.

There are programs for residential and commercial water customers that target both indoor and outdoor water use. New programs are added when there are significant water savings. A total water savings of almost 29,000 acre feet was realized during fiscal year 2000-01 because of these efforts. Conservation staff strives to ensure that the role of urban water conservation remains consistent in the Bay/Delta Process. The Authority continues to meet implementation standards for the Best Management Practices (BMP) for water conservation that has grown out of that process. Staff also plays an active role on the California Urban Water Conservation Council , which is charged with monitoring statewide progress in implementing the BMPs.

Managing Wetlands: Moist-Soil Management (Seasonally Flooded Impoundments)

http://www.conservation.state.mo.us/landown/wetland/wetmng/8.htm

Extractions: Moist-soil management refers to management of land to provide moist soil conditions during the growing season to promote the natural production of beneficial plants. Seeds produced by these plants often attract and concentrate waterfowl and other wetland wildlife species. The decomposing vegetative parts of moist-soil plants also provide substrata for invertebrates, which are critical food for many wetland wildlife. Factors that determine the success of moist-soil management include: the timing and rate of the dewatering; soil disturbance and the stages of plant succession; and the timing and rate of reflooding. Best success is achieved when water levels can be controlled, although good results can be obtained under natural conditions when artificial draining and flooding are not possible. The following are techniques used in moist-soil management: Hold water on the land until late spring, generally early May through June. This will help prevent some undesirable plants that need dry conditions to germinate and will provide extended habitat for wetland wildlife. Drawdowns (dewa-tering) early in this time period tend to produce smartweeds, while mid period drawdowns often produce wild millets. Late drawdowns in this time period usually result in beggartick, panic grasses and crabgrass. Drop water levels at a slow rate - generally about one inch a day -until the marsh bottom is exposed. Slow drawdowns prevent soils from drying too quickly and produce desirable plants over an extended period. Slow drawdowns usually produce a greater diversity of plants, while a fast drawdown (dewatering in a few days) produces extensive stands of similar vegetation. Fast drawdowns late in the season tend to dry the soil too quickly and often result in less desirable vegetation. The stage of plant succession in a marsh unit will also affect the plant species composition following a drawdown Perennial plants like rice cutgrass and marsh smartweed tend to increase after three or more years without a soil disturbance (discing). Many of the high seed producing plants like wild millet and large seeded smartweed occur in units in the first few years following a soil manipulation.

http://www.mwpshq.org/mwps_45.html

Extractions: MWPS-45 Most experts agree that the major benefits of conservation tillage include soil erosion management, water conservation, improved soil tilth, lower input costs, and labor efficiency. A recently released publication from MidWest Plan Service (MWPS) is an excellent resource for those interested in learning about these and other concepts related to conservation tillage. The second edition of Conservation Tillage Systems and Management: Crop Residue Management with No-till, Ridge-till, Mulch-till, and Strip-till, MWPS-45, provides detailed discussions about virtually all aspects of the subject. Among the book's 29 chapters are sections devoted to growing with conservation tillage, tillage system definitions, wind and water erosion, crop residue and irrigation water management, and water quality. Other chapters discuss residue management at harvest, estimating residue cover, crop response to tillage systems, costs and returns, soil compaction, controlled traffic, and converting CRP to crop production. Also included are chapters about nutrient management; weed, insect, rodent, and disease management; and site-specific crop management (precision farming). The book also has chapters that explain tillage system selection and describe no-till planting equipment, ridge-till planting equipment, no-till drills, dryland small grain seeding equipment, crop cultivators, and pesticide application equipment. Several new sections in the revised edition provide information about conservation tillage and cover crop management in cotton.
