shown to increase net carbon (C) sequestration in rangeland soils and have been
proposed as a means to help lower atmospheric CO₂ concentrations. However,
the effect of climate change on soil organic C (SOC) stocks and greenhouse gas
emissions in rangelands is not well understood, and the viability of climate
change mitigation strategies under future conditions is even less certain. We
used a process-based biogeochemical model (DayCent) to simulate net primary
productivity (NPP), SOC, and greenhouse gas fluxes across California annual
grasslands with and without compost amendments. We drove the DayCent
simulations with field data and with site-specific daily climate data from two
Earth system models (CanESM2 and HadGEM-ES) and two representative
concentration pathways (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). Both NPP and SOC stocks were
resilient to projected climate changes. In this talk I will present results
from this study, which suggest that the amendment of compost to rangelands
in California is resilient to future climate change and could contribute to
climate mitigation goals alongside emissions reductions.</span></span></font></p><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">

of Environmental Science, Policy & Management at UC Berkeley, advised by
Professor Whendee Silver. I am also a Graduate Research Scholar at Lawrence
Livermore National Lab, working with Dr. Karis McFarlane at the Center for
Accelerator Mass Spectrometry.  I am generally interested in the balance
of biogeochemical fluxes of carbon at the soil-atmosphere interface. My
research has examined mechanisms and overall potential for carbon sequestration
in soil at all scales, from global to molecular scale, with the motivation of
understanding how managing landscapes can contribute to negative emissions and
climate change mitigation. My interest in soil carbon cycling stemmed from
my undergraduate research in geochemistry at Northwestern, which led to a research
fellowship on soil carbon persistence at the Max Planck Institute for
Biogeochemistry in Germany.  I hope to continue working on
solutions-focused science throughout my career.</span>  </span></font></p><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">
