Soil carbon saturation: do soils have a carbon storage limit, and if so, what controls it?

Keen public interest in soil carbon sequestration will test the scientific community’s ability to deliver effective soil management practices and durable scientific concepts. In this webinar series we will hear diverse perspectives on key questions that inform how to go about sequestering soil carbon in working lands.

In our second webinar of 2022, “Carbon saturation,” Dr. Katerina Georgiou and Ph.D. candidate Maura Slocum will address the question of whether soils have a finite capacity to store organic carbon. and discuss the factors that determine soil carbon storage capacity.

This series is sponsored by the International Soil Carbon Network in partnership with the Midwest, Northeast, and Northwest USDA Climate Hubs, the American Geophysical Union, and the tri-societies–the American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America.
