Rangelands take up a whopping 30% of all land cover in the United States. But we don’t really think of them as a carbon sink the same way we do crop land. So what’s the deal? Can rangelands store soil carbon?
Tune in as Megan Nasto, Research Scientist at Working Lands Conservation, talks us through the potential for rangelands as a carbon sink. She’ll walk us through how to manage cattle to improve carbon sequestration in rangeland soils and what it would take to accurately measure the carbon those soils sequester. Plus, Megan will talk through some real-life examples of improvements she’s seen in soil health and ecosystem services from rangeland projects. Buckle up!
