"I will be further developing a biophysical-economic approach to modeling agricultural production systems, and utilizing that approach to predict changes in soil organic carbon storage and greenhouse gas fluxes. Comparisons between farm-scale and county-scale models will be made to assess their validity for policy and market analysis. I also will be investigating how to design contracts for soil carbon sequestration to meet the needs of both producers and buyers of soil carbon. Buyers may include the federal government and market participants and their contract needs are likely to differ. Simulations of the integrated model will be used to assess farmers' participation in per-hectare and per-tonne contracts. These results will be used to construct supply curves for soil carbon and to assess the economic feasibility of soil carbon sequestration for major production systems in Montana, Nebraska, and the central United States."
