Project title:
Management for carbon sequestration in species-rich grasslands – can it be a win-win?

Overview:
Striving to limit global warming, there is an increased scientific focus on the feasibility of realizing low-emission scenarios where CO2 is actively removed from the atmosphere. Grassland soils have the capacity to sequester atmospheric CO2, and since there is a strong societal impetus to preserve plant biodiversity in semi-natural grasslands, this project will investigate if there are management practices that may yield co-benefits on plant diversity and carbon sequestration in temperate grasslands.
