本論文は、フランスの土壌炭素動態モデルAMGが、農業開発、気候研究、土地利用計画、炭素市場など異なるアクター間でどのように流通・変容するかを分析する。AMGは学術研究、地域公共政策、炭素市場という3つの定量化レジームに分化し、土壌炭素隔離ポテンシャルを定量化する社会技術的インフラの構築に貢献している。知識インフラを固定化されたものではなく、開かれた柔軟なプロセスとして捉える視点を提唱する。
English
This paper analyzes how the French soil carbon cycling model AMG circulates and transforms among actors in agricultural development, climate research, land-use planning, and carbon markets. It shows that AMG evolves into three distinct carbon quantification regimes—academic research, local public action, and carbon markets—which together build a sociotechnical infrastructure for quantifying soil carbon sequestration. The authors argue for viewing knowledge infrastructures as open-ended and flexible processes rather than stable entities, contributing to environmental quantification and soil-human relations literature.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では、みどりの食料システム戦略やJ-クレジット制度において土壌炭素貯留が注目されている。本論文が提示する定量化インフラの社会学は、日本における農地土壌炭素クレジットの設計や、SSBJ開示における自然関連情報の扱いにも示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This paper offers a sociological perspective on the quantification infrastructure behind soil carbon sinks, which is increasingly relevant for nature-based solutions under the Paris Agreement and voluntary carbon markets. It highlights how a single model can serve multiple regimes (research, policy, markets), informing the design of more robust carbon accounting frameworks for global initiatives like the Science Based Targets initiative for land use.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a framework for studying how carbon quantification models evolve across different social worlds, relevant for scholars of environmental accounting and knowledge infrastructures.
🏢実務担当者:Highlights the need for flexibility in carbon accounting tools when applied to markets and local policy, useful for developers of soil carbon credit methodologies.
🏛政策担当者:Suggests that public administrations should be aware of the multiple uses of single models and ensure alignment between research, policy, and market quantification regimes.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Since COP21 in 2015, carbon neutrality targets have emphasized the enhancement of various carbon sinks, including soils, to help sequester carbon away from the atmosphere. What does it take to make soils into carbon sinks? This article focuses on a French digital model of soil carbon cycling named AMG, which quantifies soil carbon stocks and their evolution under various agricultural practices. We examine how AMG circulates and transforms within a loosely connected network of actors and organizations involved in agricultural development, climate research, land-use planning public administrations, and carbon commodification. We show how the model evolves into three distinct yet interconnected regimes of carbon quantification—in climate academic research, local public action, and carbon markets—that contribute to building and expanding a sociotechnical infrastructure for quantifying soil carbon sequestration potential. Our findings contribute to the literature on environmental quantification and knowledge infrastructures by calling for a shift from viewing knowledge infrastructures as stable and fixed, toward an approach that emphasizes open-ended, flexible, and ongoing processes of infrastructuring. We also contribute to the literature on soil–human relations by emphasizing how this model fosters a new focus on the active role of soils in the global carbon cycle and climate change mitigation.
