We often hear how "healthy soil" requires soil organic matter (carbon) which when present, is a critical component for improving the management of storm water run-off and soil erosion. This workshop explains what soil carbon is, the complexity of Nature's carbon cycle, and how by better understanding how to manage soil carbon in all it many forms, can significantly improve your ability to manage storm water volume and quality as well as reduce soil erosion. Current research on the topic of soil carbon and how it is applied and stored in soil to optimize both soil health and storm water capture will be covered.
