Description

A recent Natural England report into carbon storage using natural habitat regeneration made clear the need for scientific data to help prove the true potential of a “nature first” approach to carbon.

Come and hear how UWE Bristol are working with Wild Carbon to develop a cost-effective toolkit for assessing carbon dynamics and biodiversity change in rewilding sites.

Delivered by Sam Bonnett, this talk will cover impacts on soil functions and the issues related to ecosystem service provision and how cost-effective techniques are required for the monitoring, mapping and validation of both carbon and biodiversity improvement in diverse land-use systems from agricultural to rewilding sites.

All students and staff welcome. No need to register - just turn up on the day.

Speakers

Sam Bonnett

Senior Lecturer in Environmental Science in the Department of Applied Sciences at UWE
