Body

Rangeland ecosystems cover approximately one third of the land area in the U.S. These vast lands offer a unique opportunity for landowners looking to generate a new revenue stream through the sequestration of carbon in the soil. Recently two new voluntary carbon offset protocols have been approved by the American Carbon Registry which allow land owners and managers to generate revenue from increases in the soil stored on their land. This session will focus on the science of these opportunities and how they are shaping the future of rangeland management.
