Abstract

This report presents considerations for the choice of options to calculate and monitor stocks of carbon in all soils and emissions of CO2 from agricultural soils in the Netherlands for the Kyoto 1990 baseline and following years. The objective of the study was to prepare data for a national submission according to the Common Reporting Format for carbon stocks on specific land uses, land use changes en carbon fluxes according to Article 5.2 in the Kyoto Protocol. This study reports on the whereabouts of the carbon stocks in order to be geographically explicit, discusses the uncertainties in the inventory and analyses future inventory options.
