The NC CASC webinar, "Exploring the carbon effects of forest transformation and exotic annual grassland restoration in the North Central U.S.", took place on May 8, 2025. In the first part of the session, Dr. Maxwell shared preliminary results from a study seeking to quantify the potential carbon benefits and soil health co-benefits of successful restorations of heavily invaded exotic annual grasslands. In the second part of the session, Dr. Nagy shared preliminary findings from a study to quantify the changes in carbon storage due to ecological transformations associated with wildfire and invasive plants in forests across the North Central U.S. If you missed it, check out the recording here.
