We are excited to share that a dedicated grassland Session BG3.36 at the EGU General Assembly 2025, part of the Carbon and nitrogen cycling and trace gas exchange in agricultural ecosystems session and co-organised and led by members of the CarboGrass project, was once again a resounding success, building on the positive reception of last year’s session! Held on May 1st (posters) and May 2nd (orals), the session spotlighted the critical role of grasslands, which cover approximately 40% of the Earth’s ice-free surface, in climate regulation, carbon sequestration, nitrogen cycling, and greenhouse gas mitigation.
The session featured a diverse lineup of high-quality presentations, with contributions covering nearly every continent. Topics ranged from long-term greenhouse gas monitoring to the effects of irrigation, management practices, and the role of legume species in enhancing grassland productivity and C sequestration. The energy in the room was super, as researchers shared innovative approaches and findings on how sustainable grassland management can play a transformative role in addressing global climate challenges.
We look forward to even more groundbreaking contributions in next year’s 2026 session!
