What Is the Role of Erosion in Soil Carbon Sequestration?
Offered By: AGU via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the complex relationship between erosion and soil carbon sequestration in this 1-hour webinar featuring expert presentations from Dr. Kristof Van Oost and Dr. Ken Wacha. Delve into global-scale impacts of erosion on carbon cycling, management practices in the US Corn Belt, and the spatial heterogeneity of soil carbon stocks. Gain insights into historical erosion, controversial aspects, key mechanisms, and geomorphic processes affecting carbon sequestration. Learn about burial sites, landscape responses to shifting rainfall patterns, and the use of rainfall simulators and modeling frameworks. Understand the effects on drainage networks and soil aggregates, equipping yourself with valuable knowledge to address the challenges of effective soil management for carbon sequestration in working lands.
