Abstract

International Soil Carbon Network Workshop; Stanford, California, 27 February to 3 March 2017. Here, workshop participants recognized the need to identify vulnerabilities and opportunities for linking SOM-C science and the societal mandate to manage soils and ecosystems for productivity and carbon sequestration in future decades. Lastly, we outlined a path to gain support for the ISCN vision of a collective soil data platform from stakeholders and partners through engagement in coming years.

Networking our science to characterize the state, vulnerabilities, and management opportunities of soil organic matter

Journal Article Harden, Jennifer W. ; Hugelius, Gustaf ; Ahlström, Anders ; ... - Global Change Biology

Soil organic matter (SOM) supports the Earth's ability to sustain terrestrial ecosystems, provide food and fiber, and retains the largest pool of actively cycling carbon. Over 75% of the soil organic carbon (SOC) in the top meter of soil is directly affected by human land use. Large land areas have lost SOC as a result of land use practices, yet there are compensatory opportunities to enhance productivity and SOC storage in degraded lands through improved management practices. Large areas with and without intentional management are also being subjected to rapid changes in climate, making many SOC stocks vulnerable to lossesmore »« less

Establishing a Technical Assistance Network to Build Capacity in Southwest Alaska (Southwest Alaska Energy Network - Final Report)

Technical Report Vaught, Laura

The Southwest Alaska Municipal Conference (SWAMC) is a non-profit regional membership economic development organization that represents the Aleutian/Pribilof Islands, Bristol Bay, and Kodiak regions of southwest Alaska. SWAMC applied for the DOE-OIE Establishment of an Inter-Tribal Technical Assistance Energy Providers Network grant FOA to work with our partners to provide energy planning and project development technical assistance. The project team was made up of SWAMC, three regional organizations, a management consulting firm, and a panel of technical consultants. SWAMC sub-contracted with the three Alaska Native regional non-profit organizations – Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association (APIA), Bristol Bay Native Association (BBNA), andmore »« less

Sticky roots--implications of widespread, cryptic, viral infection of plants in natural and managed ecosystems for soil carbon processing in the rhizosphere

Technical Report Cardon, Zoe ; Keiluweit, Marco ; Malmstrom, Carolyn ; ...

Plants strongly influence soil properties through rhizodeposition, in which exudates diffuse from roots, additional secretions are actively released, and root cells are sloughed into the soil. This contribution by plants of carbon compounds belowground is at the core of soil health, water holding capacity, and the soil carbon storage that pulls carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. Once in soil, organic matter can bind with minerals such as iron hydroxides, where it can be protected from microbial attack for millenia, preserving very large terrestrial soil carbon pools. However, those same compounds contributed by roots to soil may also destabilize themore »« less

A County-Level Program to Assess Farming System Ecosystem Services

Other Capece, John

The survival of Florida’s biodiversity and economy is dependent on finding ways to balance farm economics with proper management of water and other natural resources. Taking on this challenge of maximizing the delivery of ecosystems services from agricultural production systems is the mandate of the Hendry County Sustainable Biofuels Center. Given that sea level rise is the overarching, long-term threat to the south Florida and its ecosystems, the most valuable ecosystems services for the state of Florida are those that mitigate climate change. Biofuels are put forward as one approach to forestalling climate change, but its value as an industrymore »« less

Grassland Management and Conversion into Grassland: Effects on Soil Carbon

Dataset Conant, R. ; Paustian, K. ; Elliot, E.

Grasslands are heavily relied upon for food and forage production. A key component for sustaining production in grassland ecosystems is the maintenance of soil organic matter (SOM), which can be strongly influenced by management. Many management techniques intended to increase forage production may potentially increase SOM, thus sequestering atmospheric carbon (C). Further, conversion from either cultivation or native vegetation into grassland could also sequester atmospheric carbon. We reviewed studies examining the influence of improved grassland management practices and conversion into grasslands on soil C worldwide to assess the potential for C sequestration. Results from 115 studies containing over 300 datamore »« less
