Rangelands represent one of the largest land-use footprints in the world and hold significant potential for employing soil carbon sequestration strategies to help mitigate climate change. California rangelands exhibit a wide range in soil carbon pool sizes. Theses differences are not correlated strongly with precipitation or soil type, indicating that management may play an important…

California’s Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Peatlands play a significant role in the Earth’s terrestrial carbon (C) cycle, accounting for approximately one-third of the global soil C reservoir. In addition, peatland soils are a significant source of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere, a potent greenhouse gas with 25 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide (CO2).…
