Soil Carbon Science Webinar Series – 7 September 2023

The Scientific & Technical Committee of the international «4 per 1000» Initiative presents «Soil Carbon Science Webinar Series«.
Join us on-line to gain valuable insights and to engage with leading researchers in the field. Don’t miss this opportunity!

Join us for an first insightful webinar on the role of soil organic carbon (SOC) in maintaining soil functions and mitigating climate change. SOC plays a vital role in crop production, nutrient and water cycling, carbon storage, and habitat for soil biodiversity.
Recent developments have defined SOC into two operational fractions: particulate organic carbon (POC) and mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC). The formation of long-lived MAOC is crucial for climate change mitigation. Our esteemed experts will delve into this topic.

Moderator: Budiman Minasny, The University of Sydney, «4 per 1000» STC
Discussant: Claire Chenu, AgroParisTech, Université Paris-Saclay, «4 per 1000» STC
