Soil Carbon Sequestration - When Does Increased Soil C Storage Yield Net Removal of Greenhouse Gases
Offered By: AGU via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the complex relationship between soil carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions in this informative webinar. Delve into key technical questions surrounding effective soil carbon management practices in working lands. Examine case studies from France and the U.S. Midwest, presented by experts Claire Chenu (INRAE) and Jane Johnson (USDA-ARS). Investigate how increased soil organic carbon impacts nitrous oxide emissions and evaluate whether carbon storage alone is sufficient to reduce agriculture's net greenhouse gas impact. Learn about organic agriculture, carbon sequestration strategies, nitrogen leaching, and mitigation techniques. Gain insights into measuring methodologies, global warming potential, and the GRACENET project. Analyze temporal and spatial variability in carbon and nitrous oxide dynamics. Participate in audience Q&A sessions to deepen your understanding of this critical area of environmental science.
