The UBC Soil Water & Sustainability Group, in partnership with the Pacific Regional Society of Soil Science (PRSSS), are hosting a symposium and field trip on Soil Carbon, as part of the celebration of the 2015 International Year of Soils, designated by the United Nations. One of the goals of IYS is to raise awareness and appreciation of the crucial roles that soil plays in food security, ecosystem services, and climate change adaptation.

The symposium includes a day of presentations and discussions with various experts on their research in carbon sequestration, the role of soil organic matter in the management of BC’s forests and farms, mycorrhizae and soil carbon dynamics, carbon in bogs and wetlands, and more. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
