We aim to build an online library here so you can find anything you want to know about soil carbon credits. Articles and websites containing research results and other useful information will be sourced and posted.
We are all walking advertisements and information centres for the Carbon Coalition. I don't know all the answers, neither do you. But now we know where to find them.
Under the heading LINKS on the left hand side of the page you'll find the following so far:
