Rangeland Carbon

Although there are many knowledge gaps in our understanding of rangeland carbon, management is increasingly focusing on storing carbon in natural ecosystems as a strategy for climate mitigation and adaptation. With support from the Natural Resources Conservation Service, INR and partners at the Agricultural Research Service, US Geological Survey, and others initiated a rangeland carbon working group in early 2024. This effort will focus on synthesizing the state of the science and providing technical transfer related to best practices for managing carbon in sagebrush rangelands. Stay tuned as this work progresses.
