Grassland restoration, specifically soil carbon management, has a multitude of benefits. Methods of soil carbon management in grassland ecosystems can be used to address climate mitigation, regrow water supplies, reduce flooding, enhance biodiversity, and even help manage invasive plants.
Steven Apfelbaum, M.S., Senior Ecologist and Science Advisor at Resource Environmental Solutions, will give us an update and overview of his work in grassland restoration and soil carbon management, expanding upon a presentation that he and others gave at the White House during the Obama administration. Citing his personal and professional experiences on the subject over many years, Steve will connect his research and findings to the broader themes within stewardship and management, sharing insights that will help inform the work of researchers, practitioners, and stewards of all kinds.
