Seminar: Advancing understanding, quantification and forecasting of soil organic matter dynamics to transform challenges into opportunities

In this seminar, Prof. Cotrufo will present recent advances in understanding, quantifying, and forecasting soil organic matter dynamics, with a focus on litter decomposition, carbon stabilization, and soil C sequestration. Using innovative isotopic approaches and linking fundamental research to large-scale applications, the talk will highlight how soil science can help transform global change challenges into opportunities.

Prof. Cotrufo is a leading scientist in soil ecology and biogeochemistry, Editor of Global Change Biology, Highly Cited Researcher (Clarivate), and co-founder of the Soil Carbon Solution Center at CSU.
