Abstract
The increase of carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere and its consequences on climate and the environment are widely discussed topics, and in the last few years the creation of future projections in different emission scenarios has highlighted the need to take serious action against further increase in greenhouse gas content. After the Paris Agreement of 2015, the signing parties committed to specific goals to reach before 2100, to keep the temperature increase well below 2°C with respect to pre-industrial conditions, not only reducing the current emission rate but creating strategies to reach Net Zero Emissions. This is why carbon sequestration strategies have been developed: in this project, the work is focused on sequestration in cultivated soils, which could represent a way to reduce the impacts of pastures and agricultural activities.
The main scope of this thesis is to create a model to describe the quantity of Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) that is contained in agricultural soils, and to simulate the future trends of this soil feature, which is seen as a possible strategy for Carbon Dioxide sequestration for climate change mitigation purposes
