Overview
Topic status: We're looking for students to study this topic.
The strong desire to manage and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions is balanced by an equally strong desire to do so in a way that minimizes economic impacts. One of the appeals of biosequestration (taking CO2 out of the atmosphere and storing it in the world's vegetation and soils) is environmental benefit with low (or negative) economic costs. Yet there are costs for adopting land management practices that promote biosequestration, otherwise land owners would have already adopted those practices.
We seek a highly-motivated student to work with us on an integrated assessment of opportunities and costs of biosequestration in the world's rangelands.
