“And this issue plagues the forestry sector as well. It's just as bad in the soil world. And I personally, I think that challenge swamps the measurement issues”
Slesserev: Soil models used for carbon credit baselines are fundamentally outdated
“And so the models that are being used to make projections about carbon sequestration in soil, or to come up with estimates for baselines for those calculations, are They're essentially outdated, which is not to say that they're wildly inaccurate, but they don'…”
