Abstract
This report is one of a series of reports prepared for the Goyder Institute for Water Research project Assessing South Australian carbon offset supply and policy for co-beneficial outcomes. The project seeks to provide improved understanding of the biophysical and economic potential for carbon sequestration through land use change to carbon plantings across South Australia’s intensive agricultural lands. The focus this report is a case study that assessed potential for carbon plantings in gullies and creek lines in a Mount Lofty Ranges water supply catchment with potential to produce carbon sequestration and water quality benefits. Both potential carbon sequestration and potential avoided water treatment benefits were valued in physical unit (tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, reduced treatment inputs) and in dollar terms.
