About this Event
Our Conference will bring together experts, professionals, and enthusiasts from Conservation and Natural Resource fields to discuss the role of fire and carbon in soil and water conservation. It is multifaceted, ranging from destructive forces to essential elements of ecosystem management and restoration. This duality reflects the complex nature of fire and carbon cycles within natural and managed landscapes (agroecosystems, commercial cropping systems). While fire can lead to immediate soil and water degradation, it can also play a crucial role in long-term soil fertility and water conservation when managed properly.
Topics discussed: The destructive impact of fire, the role of carbon, fire in ecosystem management, strategies for integrating fire and carbon management.
Fire and carbon play pivotal roles in soil and water conservation, with their impact ranging from catastrophic to beneficial. Effective management strategies, such as controlled burns and biochar application, can harness the positive aspects of fire and carbon while mitigating their destructive potential. By integrating these approaches, we can promote sustainable soil and water conservation, ensuring ecosystem resilience and productivity in natural landscapes as well as managed agrecosystems and crop production.
