Participants at Ohio State University, working in close collaboration with USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service/National Soil Survey Center (Lincoln, NE) and USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (at Fort Collins, CO) conduct broad-based data synthesis, evaluation and field studies on the dynamics of soil organic and inorganic carbon, focusing on the impact of human activities. They have provided the leadership for numerous books and scientific papers on soil carbon sequestration in the U.S. and internationally. Their recent book "The Potential for U.S. Cropland to Sequester Carbon and Mitigate the Greenhouse Effect" is acknowledged as the most extensive analysis to date. Studies include basic research on soil carbon cycling, the impacts of management on soil carbon sequestration, the role of soil erosion, studies on other greenhouse gases (methane and nitrous oxide), and extensive field and laboratory studies on carbon stocks and carbon storage processes in grazing land, cropland, and Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land. Research collaboration and other interactions are extensive with other federal and state agencies, universities, international organizations, and individuals.
