Table 1: Historic and projected future results of carbon sequestration

Graph showing historic SOC levels in Sudan study area and projected future levels

Note: This graph was drawn using the CENTURY model. Up to 1950, the area studied was used as grazing land only. From 1950 to 2000 the area was put under permanent cultivation. From 2000 on, the area is shown reverted to rangeland, with the same grazing intensity as before 1950.
