Soil Carbon Sequestration - How Does Tillage Affect Soil Carbon?

Explore the impact of tillage on soil carbon sequestration in this hour-long webinar, part of a seven-part series addressing key questions about carbon storage in working lands. Hear from Dr. Humberto Blanco-Canqui and Stephen Ogle as they delve into the extensive literature and long-standing debate surrounding conservation tillage practices and their effects on soil carbon stocks. Gain insights into topics such as no-till farming, micro-aggregates, bulk density, long-term experiments, and the potential impacts on nitrous oxide emissions. Examine the complexities of rotational no-till, occasional tillage, and the influence of climate and soil types on carbon sequestration. Participate in a Q&A session addressing uncertainties, publication bias, and site-specific studies. Learn about monitoring carbon, targeting problem soils, and determining optimal tillage frequencies for various soil conditions.
