Japan, May 14 -- Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced that it has developed a technology to accurately estimate the amount of soil organic carbon (SOC) in agricultural land by combining optical measurements with two SOC dynamic models: a root biomass model and a microbially mediated organic matter decomposition model. The new technology will enable the efficient, low-cost, large-scale monitoring of SOC by eliminating the need for soil sampling and laboratory chemical analyses. By supporting the evaluation of agriculture?derived carbon reductions within the GX?ETS, which will be fully operational by the fiscal year ending March 2027, the technology will improve agricultural productivity and reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.With the accel...
