Case Study - EverCrop Carbon Plus

This case study describes the results of a project that examined the deep soil carbon sequestration potential of perennial species in cropping soils across a range of environments.

The species examined included the forage shrub species tagasaste and saltbush, tropical perennial grasses, and a small range of temperate herbaceous perennial species including lucerne. These were the most feasible perennial plant options for the regions of interest, which included the northern Western Australian wheatbelt, the South Australian Mallee and the medium-rainfall cropping zone of south-eastern Australia.
