Synopsis of Address:
Storing carbon in soils is laudable, but viewed from a systems perspective it may be more important to manage carbon flows rather than storage to sustain multiple ecosystem functions. This perspective views soil as a mediator of energy flows – a reactor or a regulator, rather than a repository of carbon.
Bio:
Research scientist with Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada (Ottawa), Ed Gregorich studies carbon and nitrogen cycling in soil. A fellow of the Canadian and American soil science societies and adjunct professor at Carleton University, he served on the UN International Panel on Climate Change, and is currently editor-in-chief of the Journal of Environmental Quality.
