Engineering the Buffalo Commons: How is it Possible to Engineer Restored Prairies for Soil Carbon Sequestration

Presentation Type

Oral Presentation

Abstract

Carbon dioxide emissions from human activities have been on the rise since the turn of the twentieth century, leading to irreversible changes in the Earth system. One way to combat the growing carbon emissions is to sequester carbon via soil carbon sequestration. In this paper, we identify and enumerate factors that influence soil carbon sequestration rates and propose methods to engineer restored prairie grasslands to sequester carbon more effectively.
