GSBI Speaks:

Soil biodiversity and the stabilisation of carbon in the soil

April 26, 2021

Interest in the potential for soil to store carbon is high, but our fundamental understanding of the controls on soil carbon accumulation and loss remains poor. Panelists Gerrit Angst (Czech Academy of Sciences), Colin Averill (ETH), Kate Buckeridge (Luxembourg Inst. Science & Tech.), and Cynthia Kallenbach (McGill Univ.) will consider some recent advances in this topic, focusing on new understanding and theories on the stabilisation of soil carbon and how it is influenced by soil biodiversity and modified by land use and climate change.
