This is the first webinar in the Biochar series for 2021. This webinar will cover aspects related to forest management approaches that can help with negative emissions technologies to increase C sequestration and retention in two ways: (1) apply silvicultural practices that change residual tree growing space by increasing the allocation of that space, water, and nutrients for increased growth and (2) use the current non- value removed biomass to create biochar. In addition the presentation will cover how C sequestered during biochar application, in combination with sustainable biomass production, can be C negative and therefore used to actively remove CO2 from the atmosphere with different applications.
Carlos Rodriguez Franco is a senior forester with the USDA Forest Service Research and Development. He earned a doctorate degree in Forest Sciences from Yale University, a master’s degree in Silviculture from Colegio de Postgraduados and a bachelor’s degree in Forest Engineering from Chapingo Autonomous University both in Mexico. He has written more than 90 scientific articles on subjects related to forest inventories, silviculture, forest management, plant production techniques, forest plantations, and agroforestry systems published in Mexico, the USA.
