Modelling the impacts of climate change on soil carbon in pastures of western Victoria

Venue: Seminar Room, Lab14, 290

Presenters: Ms Rachelle Meyer

Increasing soil carbon stocks is an often mentioned agricultural mitigation option. However, increasing carbon stocks in Australian soils is difficult given the highly variable climate, and the feasibility of increasing soil carbon stocks as the climate changes is uncertain. In this presentation the results of a modelling study addressing the potential impacts of climate change on carbon stocks in pastures of western Victoria will be discussed. Implications for sustainable stocking densities and the various sources of uncertainty in the response including climate and soil modelling uncertainty will be addressed.
