Keywords: CO2 emission , Long-Term Studies and Modeling Approaches

Session Description: Soil chemical, physical, and biological properties influence soil C storage and dynamics.  Management practices that enhance soil C stock will offset greenhouse gas emissions through anthropogenic activity, enhance soil resilience for future climate changes, and improve soil health.  This session is intended to address empirical soil C and/or CO₂ emission studies, using data from long-term experiments and process-based modeling approaches, in assessing management impacts on soil processes and adaption to future climate change.
