Soil carbon sequestration: When does increased soil C storage yield net removal of greenhouse gases?

Keen public interest in soil carbon sequestration will test the scientific community’s ability to deliver effective management practices and durable scientific concepts. The goal of this webinar series is to hear diverse perspectives on key technical questions that inform how to go about sequestering soil carbon in working lands. In Webinar 3 we will explore how practices that increase soil organic carbon impact emissions of nitrous oxide, and ask whether storing more carbon is enough to reduce the net GHG impact of agriculture. We will hear case studies from France by Claire Chenu (INRAE) and the U.S. Midwest by Jane Johnson (USDA-ARS). This series is sponsored by the International Soil Carbon Network in partnership with AGU and the USDA Climate Hubs.
