| Short description: |
This paper presents the results of a study conducted by TIFSD on the terrestrial carbon sequestration co-benefit of using soil amendments for remediation and ecological revitalization at three sites. Prior to this study, little research has been published evaluating and quantifying terrestrial carbon sequestration benefits associated with land remediated with soil amendments. TIFSD conducted this study to increase this knowledge base. We quantified soil carbon sequestration rates at three sites: Leadville, CO, Stafford, VA, and Sharon Steel, PA. This study was part of our methodology development for sampling and analysis of carbon in soils at amended sites (methodology finalized June 2010). The results of this study indicate that carbon is being sequestered at all three sites we studied
