The KEYNOTE ADDRESS at this Friday’s Soil
Carbon Symposium (co-hosted by the UBC Soil, Water & Sustainability
Group and the PRSSS as part of the celebration of the
UN 2015 International Year of Soils) is being offered as a live webcast. 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, 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.
