Roundtable I

Whendee Silver - March 6, 2009

Soil Carbon Pools in California Rangeland Soils: Implications for Carbon Sequestration

  1. •Presentation and Discussion Notes for BIE Rangelands Roundtable I, Whendee Silver (pdf)


Roundtable Mission:

to further knowledge of the potential of rangeland systems to produce biodiversity, carbon sequestration, biofuels, and other goods and services
to develop new, cross-disciplinary research founded in that knowledge and the relationships developed as a result of the roundtable.

Activities:

Starting with a core interdisciplinary group of Berkeley faculty with a long-standing interest in rangelands, this roundtable will develop a series of lectures and discussions on the state of knowledge and the research possibilities in examining rangeland production systems from multiple disciplines. In addition to bringing in faculty from other disciplines, local practitioners (rangeland producers) and cooperative extension field advisors will join the roundtable.
