This is a great opportunity for those who cannot attend the session in person.* * TITLE: Soil - Carbon Repository or Mediator? SPEAKER: Dr. Ed Gregorich ( Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada <http://agronomycanada.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ca7fd4410b9dab34e3ef8b381&id=3998beb9b7&e=ae8b92dffd>*, Ottawa) *DATE/TIME: **Friday, Sept. 25 @ 9:00 am PDT* * SYNOPSIS: Storing carbon in soils is laudable, but viewed from a systems perspective it may be more important to manage carbon flows rather than storage to sustain multiple ecosystem functions. This perspective views soil as a mediator of energy flows – a reactor or a regulator, rather than a repository of carbon.* *BIO: **Research scientist with Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada (Ottawa), Ed Gregorich studies carbon and nitrogen cycling in soil. A fellow of the Canadian and American soil science societies and adjunct professor at Carleton University, he served on the UN International Panel on Climate Change, and is currently editor-in-chief of the Journal of Environmental Quality.* * INSTRUCTIONS TO CONNECT: Meeting Time: Friday September 25, 2015 • 9:00 a.m. PDT / 8 hrs Presentation Duration: 9:15 am – 10:00 am (45 minutes) Click the link below to access the meeting on your desktop browser, or on your mobile device (iPhone, Android).
