“Stocker du carbone dans les sols agricoles : évaluation de leviers d’action pour la France” – 2014 – Claire Chenu & al.

Les sols contiennent une très grande quantité de carbone, sous forme de matières organiques. Nous avons identifié des pratiques agricoles qui permettraient, sans changement majeur du système de production, d’accroître les stocks de carbone des sols. Nous avons instruit quatre actions : la réduction du travail du sol, l’implantation de davantage de couverts dans les systèmes de culture, le développement de l’agroforesterie et des haies et l’optimisation de la gestion des prairies.

Les sols peuvent stocker davantage de carbone qu’ils n’en émettent, dans certaines conditions, encore soumises à des incertitudes d’un point de vue scientifique.
