Soil carbon sequestration: How can we increase carbon stocks in deep soil? 

Keen public interest in soil carbon sequestration will test the scientific community’s ability to deliver effective soil management practices and durable scientific concepts. In this seven-part webinar series we will hear diverse perspectives on key questions that inform how to go about sequestering soil carbon in working lands.  
In part 6, “Deep Soil C”, Dr. Sharon Billings from Kansas State University will discuss how historic changes in rooting depth have changed soil development. Dr. Larry York from Oak Ridge National Laboratory will share outlooks for breeding crops with root characteristics to build soil carbon.
This series is sponsored by the International Soil Carbon Network in partnership with the Midwest, Northeast, and Northwest USDA Climate Hubs and AGU.
