As droughts, heatwaves and rainfall extremes intensify, increasing carbon in soil has been proposed as a strategy to improve soil water availability and sustain crop production. However, the relationship between soil carbon, water and crop resilience is more complex than commonly assumed.
This webinar examines how SOC influences soil hydraulic properties, water infiltration, retention, redistribution and plant water availability under different climatic conditions. The webinar will draw on recent evidence from large-scale crop yield analyses and global hydrological modelling to show that SOC benefits depend on soil texture, rainfall patterns, and atmospheric water demand.
The webinar will discuss the opportunities and limitations of managing soil carbon for climate adaptation. Understanding these relationships is essential for developing realistic strategies that integrate soil carbon management, agricultural water use and climate resilience.
The webinar will take place on Zoom on November 16 at 14:00 CET. Please click the link below to join the session:
