Carbon sequestration in the terrestrial biosphere is critical to mitigating the increasing anthropogenic CO2 content of the atmosphere. However, improved efficiency of methods for soil C measurement is important to better estimate terrestrial C inventories and fluxes at a regional and global scale. Laboratory based measurement of soil C involves intensive, time consuming, and costly methodology that limits applicability for large land areas. Recently, research efforts have focused on measuring soil C in situ using a variety of methods. These methods include Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), Inelastic Neutron Scattering (INS), near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and remote sensing. Basic fundamentals of each of these in situ methods for soil C determination are presented, and the differences among the methods and their relative advantages and disadvantages are discussed.
