NREM691 Advanced Topics: Quantitative Ecosystem Carbon

Carbon is everywhere! Let’s start a revolution. NREM691 Advanced Topics: Quantitative Ecosystem Carbon Spring 2018, 3-cr, Instructed by Dr. Susan Crow Tues. 8:30-11am (May be rescheduled to meet student availability/needs) Terrestrial ecosystems hold potential to slow global warming, and soils contain more carbon that the atmosphere and vegetation combined. Managed well, in protected natural areas, planted forests, pastures, and agroecosystems, carbon accumulation in soils could stop the annual increase in CO2 in the atmosphere. In this course we will 1. Explore the overarching controls on soil carbon, 2. Read and derive data from published literature for entry into an international database designed to network the current state, vulnerabilities and opportunities of soil organic matter, and 3. Test hypotheses with data visualization tools in development for the network. Carbon Carbon Carbon Carbon Carbon Carbon Carbon Carbon Carbon
