The project CarboGrass participated in the EJP Annual Science Days 2024 that took place in Vilnius, Lithuania on June 10-14 with the poster presentation “Impact of grassland management on soil carbon storage, CarboGrass” that presented a summary of the aims and methods applied for assessing the impact of improved grassland management and silvopastoral systems on soil C and N cycling.
Impact of Grassland Management on Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling: Field and Modelling Studies
We are thrilled to announce that the session “Impact of Grassland Management on Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling: Field and Modelling Studies,” led by CarboGrass project members at the European Geosciences Union (EGU) conference, was a huge success! Grasslands, which represent 40% of the Earth’s ice-free surface, are vital for climate regulation, and this session showcased their incredible potential for carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas mitigation. The presentations were diverse and dynamic, covering a large spectrum of topics from innovative grazing strategies to the role of forage species and nitrogen regulation. The energy in the room was great as experts shared cutting-edge research on how sustainable grassland management can be a game-changer in our fight against climate change. This session took place on April 19th, 2024. More information can be found at https://environmentalevidencejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13750-024-00345-2.
CarboGrass Project Kick Off Meeting.
The project kick-off meeting was hosted by the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain on November 22-24, 2023. The meeting was an opportunity to define the main research protocols, share information about project sites, agree on specific roles of each institution and define additional collaboration between project partners.
