Learning objectives
With ca. 1500 Gt C, soil is the largest terrestrial carbon sink after oceans. An unsustainable soil management can shift soil from carbon sink to carbon source (CO2, CH4) and, consequently, contribute to climate change. The aim of the course is to provide fundamental concepts about the effects of climate change on soil and vice versa. In particular, the course is focused on: i) the impact of global warming on soil ecosystem services, ii) the potential role of soils to mitigate climate change, and iii) sustainable management practices allowing to enhance soil organic carbon sequestration as a key to address climate change mitigation, adaption and food security.
