Sequestering atmospheric carbon through increased SOC stocks requires a functional MRV application to monitor the impacts of management practices on the soil. A single quantification approach is not sufficient; instead a combination of different methods is necessary to monitor SOC changes over time and to provide appropriate verification methods. For simplified MRV applications, there is a risk of errors and uncertainty. Developments of the available tools do not meet all the demands for an MRV application applied for different purposes.
