- Economic potential of greenhouse gas emission reductions: Comparative role for soil sequestration in agriculture and forestryMcCarl, Bruce A.; Schneider, Uwe; Murray, Brian; Williams, Jimmy; Sands, Ronald D. (2001)This paper examines the relative contribution of AF activities in an emission reduction program, focusing in part on the relative desirability of sequestration in forests and agricultural soils. The analysis will consider the effects of competition for land and other resources between AF activities and traditional production. In addition, analysis is done on the influence of saturation and volatility.
- Soil carbon: Policy and economicsMarland, Gregg; McCarl, Bruce A.; Schneider, Uwe (Netherlands: Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2001)This paper examines the potential for sequestering carbon in agricultural soils. The authors assess the viability of storing carbon in agricultural soils by addressing the costs and repercussions and the numerous policy and economic factors. Implementation, economics, private property rights, agricultural policy, and institutional and social structures are all issues that will determine if this method of carbon sequestration will succeed. The most crucial determinants are the incentive system and the agricultural policies that incorporate carbon sequestration.
