Manage soils to maintain or increase soil organic carbon.
Tactics
- Maintain diverse native soil biology (bacteria, fungi).
- Manage above ground vegetation and forest floor organic material within range of sustainability of soil productivity.
- Conserve carbon and organic matter during soil-disturbing practices such as oil and gas development, vegetation management, and mining operations.
