Soil Carbon with Dale Enerson
April 28th, 2009Soil carbon is a hot topic for land managers and researchers. Dale Enerson, a member of the Grasslands Carbon Working Group, appears in this week’s episode of the Agroinnovations Podcast. Topics of discussion include agricultural carbon offsets, what they are and how they work, the dynamics of the carbon market, and the potential of agricultural offsets to mitigate the effects of global climate change.
Grasslands Carbon Working Group
April 21st, 2009In early December of 2008, a group of dedicated professionals met in Santa Fe, New Mexico to form the Grasslands Carbon Working Group. The group is composed of research scientists, land managers, and advocates, most of whom are some of the world’s leading experts on soil carbon and grassland management.
During a three day symposium, the group developed a series of initiatives and recommendations to further the future consideration of soil and grassland carbon as a viable avenue for mitigating the effects of global climate disruption.
Since then, the group’s activity has taken to the Internet. Currently, the group’s activities and correspondence take place via an online listserv mailing list, where issues of key importance in the field of grassland soil carbon are discussed. If you are a professional in this field and feel that you have something to contribute, please contact us for more information.
