I'm sure worth reading and maybe there is progress in practical measurement of soil C changes but I still worry about so much effort devoted to this topic. Yes we should increase C for soil functioning (health). But may be easier to achieve GHG cuts by improving N management.
Direct measurement of soil carbon can enhance the accuracy of carbon credit markets by providing reliable data on carbon storage, supporting climate-smart agricultural practices and policy decisions. doi.org/g82bfj
Direct measurements can reduce uncertainty in soil carbon credit markets
Directly measuring soil carbon rather than relying on predictive models can provide hard evidence of how much carbon is being stored, allowing for better assessments of confidence in carbon markets for croplands, according to a study co-authored by Yale School of the Environment scientists and recently published in Environmental Research Letters.
