Agricultural land use shapes the hidden world of soil microbes, the tiny drivers of soil carbon cycling. Their activity can determine whether carbon is released or locked away, with major implications for farm productivity and climate resilience.
Join Dr Alexa Byers, Postdoctoral Fellow at Lincoln University, for a fascinating look at her Canterbury-based research exploring how land use choices reshape soil microbial communities and the stability of soil carbon.
Soil carbon storage is a critical ecosystem function underpinning human health and well-being. Yet agricultural land use intensification is one of the major drivers of soil carbon loss. Understanding how farming practices affect soil carbon cycling is essential for developing sustainable land use approaches that boost productivity while protecting long-term stores of stabilised soil carbon.
