Accumulation of soil carbon occurs gradually and is nearly impossible to measure accurately during the twoto three-year time span of many field research studies. This is a substantial barrier to rapid progress in identifying management practices favoring soil carbon accumulation. A technique capable of indirectly assessing the impact of management practices through shorter-term measurements of soil carbon accumulation would be valuable.
