Agriculture, forestry, and urban green space management can mitigate climate change. In Carbon Action, farmers, companies, and scientists work together to develop regenerative ecosystem management options that sequester atmospheric carbon, support adaptation to climate change, help biodiversity, and promote sustainable land use. What are the actual effects on ecosystem functions and carbon storage? Field Observatory strives to answer.
