Soil Carbon Sequestration: When is Cover Cropping an Effective Practice?

Explore the effectiveness of cover cropping as a soil carbon sequestration practice in this 63-minute webinar, part of a seven-part series on soil management practices. Gain insights from Dr. Shelby McClelland of the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, who presents a meta-analysis of cover crop impacts on soil carbon stocks. Learn about the economic implications of cover cropping on farm profitability from Alejandro Plastina of Iowa State University. Understand how this research contributes to the scientific community's efforts to develop effective soil management practices and durable scientific concepts in response to growing public interest in soil carbon sequestration. Sponsored by the International Soil Carbon Network in collaboration with USDA Climate Hubs and AGU, this webinar offers diverse perspectives on key questions surrounding soil carbon sequestration in working lands.
