Soil Organic Carbon (SOC)
Benchmark Value
Scoring Curve
The scoring engine could not generate a curve for this benchmark context. The primary form is Point, but the benchmark data may be missing required fields (e.g., optimal range bounds for an OptimalRange benchmark). This is typically a data quality issue in the benchmark pipeline.
Evidence & Context
"4 paddock rotation low intensity. 19.74 mg/g of soil."
Bulk soil carbon concentration (mg g-1 dry soil) in the top 0-5 cm, measured via Leco combustion after a 4-year rotational grazing treatment.
Demonstrates the soil organic carbon level achievable using a best-practice regenerative rotational grazing system in temperate dry woodlands/grasslands.
