Microbial Carbon Mineralisation Cover

Introduction

This methodology is applicable to project activities that remove and durably store carbon dioxide (CO₂) via application of a microbial inoculant to existing cropland. This approach leverages the mutualistic relationship of beneficial soil bacteria and plant roots to capture CO₂ and convert it into soil inorganic carbon (SIC). The methodology outlines the requirements and procedures for quantifying and monitoring the associated carbon removals.
