This is part of the Soil as a Carbon Sink 3-part seminar series.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGlobally, soil contains about three times as much organic carbon as plants and twice as much as the atmosphere\u201d [1]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increasing carbon storage in soil is proposed to be one of the most cost-effective climate measures,
a measure that also has a positive impact on aspects such as biodiversity and soil fertility. The topic
has gained the decision-makers\u2019 interest and sits high on the political agenda in the Nordics.
However, using soil as a carbon sink is a complex matter. Knowledge is developing at a fast pace, but
several questions remain to be answered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seminar 3: Visualisation methods and models for soil carbon sequestration<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This seminar is part of a series aiming to stimulate knowledge exchange between Nordic actors
interested in soil as a carbon sink. The seminars are initiated and financed by Nordic Forest
Research, Nordic Agri Research and the Nordic Council of Ministers\u2019 working group for climate and
air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When: 4th of May, 10.00-11.30 CET<\/strong>
To solve any technical problems, please log in to the seminar no later than 09.50
Where<\/strong>: Online via Zoom
Participants will be provided with a link to the seminar on Monday 3rd of May
Focus<\/strong>: To reap the benefits from carbon sequestration in soil it is essential to calculate and
communicate the effects of different carbon capture activities. In this seminar we will discuss
different methods and models to calculate and communicate these activities. We will engage in
questions such as \u201cWhich methods and models exists?\u201d, \u201cWhat are their advantages and
disadvantages?\u201d, \u201cWhat development is needed to increase their efficiency and accuracy?\u201d, and
\u201cHow user friendly are they?\u201d.
