2 ECTS

Dates: 07 to 11 April 2025. First day field work. Then, sample preparation and lab work.

Learning Objectives (B6): Knowledge about the storage and loss of carbon in and from soil is crucial to mitigate climate warming. This module offers insights into processes and mechanisms that lead to carbon sequestration in soil. We look at soils from different climate regions, and learn about soil carbon accumulation and greenhouse gas emissions and how this is affected by climate change and land-use.

Course Content: Tutorial: Field day on carbon storage in soil. Lab week on carbon analyses in soil.
