Grant Description

This project will conduct innovative research to test and demonstrate that specific rangeland management practices and grazing intensities create additional carbon sequestration rates in soils. This will establish baseline information on the soil carbon cycle in Eastern Oregon ecosystems, which will provide public and private land managers with a better understanding of management options. The BLM's primary purpose for participating is to understand soil carbon science and carbon cycles in rangeland habitats and, where possible, identify potential adoptive management practices as we consider administering activities on Federal lands.
