This webinar will be an introduction to the topic of soil carbon in the context of species-rich grassland. There will be two presentations from the following specialists, who will share the findings of their work on carbon.
Penny Anderson BSc., MSc., CEcol, FCIEEM, Ecologist will draw from her 2021 review on this topic. Carbon and ecosystems: restoration and creation to capture carbon. She will help us identify the contribution grasslands in UK can play in the race to capture more carbon from the atmosphere whilst at the same time addressing the biodiversity crisis and incorporating other ecosystem services.
Phil Wilson PhD MCIEEM, Ecologist and Devon farmer will talk about data he is publishing from over 1400 NE and landowner grassland sites across UK. This includes analyses of soil nutrients and soil carbon over different management systems and grassland condition status. He will throw some light on factors such as grassland type, grazing and mowing regimes as well as sward diversity.
Followed by a Q &A and an opportunity to explore next steps towards measuring carbon sequestration in different grassland types.
