225 Symposium--Soil Carbon and Greenhouse Gas Dynamics in Agricultural Lands: I

Oral Session
S06 Soil & Water Management & Conservation
This symposium will focus on soil carbon and greenhouse gas dynamics in agricultural lands. A focus will be on the effects of soil management practices including reduced tillage, fertilizer amendments, crop rotation on carbon and greenhouse gas dynamics. In addition, presentations will address biofuel production from corn stover and the impacts of reduced corn residue on the soils properties, soil carbon dynamics and soil erosion.
