CHALLENGE

Lack of scalable, accurate measurement of CO₂ fluxes in cropland

TECHNOLOGY

Integrated sensing, modelling and AI for field-level carbon tracking

POTENTIAL

Enables reliable carbon accounting and climate-smart farming decisions

Goal

  • Develop a scalable monitoring and modeling framework to track field-level carbon dynamics for Danish cropland.
  • Improve measuring, monitoring, reporting, and verification (MMRV) of cropland CO₂ fluxes for both organic and mineral soil fields.
  • Support accurate carbon credit accounting for farmers adopting climate-smart management to improve crop production and environmental sustainability.

Plan

  • Synthesize field measurement data related to cropland carbon dynamics across Denmark.
  • Develop cross-scale sensing technologies to quantify agroecosystem variables.
  • Utilize agroecosystem models to simulate carbon budgets under varying environmental and man-agement conditions.
  • Implement model-data fusion via advanced knowledge-guided machine learning to integrate remote sensing and agroecosystem modeling to accurately quantify carbon budgets.
  • Conduct scenario analyses to assess mitigation strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing carbon sequestration.

Expected results

  • A scalable framework for monitoring CO₂ emissions and sequestration in Danish croplands.
  • High-resolution estimates of field-level carbon fluxes to improve carbon credit accounting.
  • A decision-support tool for policymakers and farmers to optimize climate-smart agriculture practices.
  • Scientific advancements in knowledge-guided machine learning for agroecosystem sensing and modeling.
