SUMMARY:Webinar : LinkOnline: New insights from an updated New Zealand soil carbon inventory system
DESCRIPTION:Presented by:Dr Jordan GoodrichBioeconomy Science Institute  \n\n\n\nHosted by:Dr Pierre RoudierBioeconomy Science Institute  \n\n\n\nSoils store more carbon globally than terrestrial vegetation and the atmosphere combined\, so even small changes across large areas can have a material effect on net greenhouse gas emissions. Under Paris Agreement reporting\, New Zealand must quantify soil carbon stock changes from land-use transitions in line with IPCC guidance. Our current inventory method applies the same stock-change factors to each land-use transition regardless of soil type or climate zone\, resulting in high uncertainties\, limiting our ability to resolve spatial patterns of change. Here we will provide an overview of a four-year project aiming to improve the soil carbon inventory system. Key improvements included expanding the measurement database from 2050 to about 4800 sites via targeted measurements in under-represented areas (e.g. wetlands) and incorporation of other existing datasets\, updating the empirical soil carbon model underpinning the stock change estimates\, and establishing a repeatable code-based processing and quality-control pipeline. \n\n\n\nThe revised model provides distinct estimates of soil carbon stocks for each land use\, soil order\, and climate zone combination. With additional refinement to the stock calculation approaches and spatial inputs\, these updates strengthen national soil carbon inventory reporting and provide a more granular basis for assessing stock changes through time. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTo register for this webinar click HERE

SUMMARY:WEBINAR : MANURE MANAGEMENT NETWORK Methods to calculate methane emission from stored liquid manure
DESCRIPTION:Manure management on livestock farms contributes significantly to the climate impact of agriculture via emissions of methane\, nitrous oxide and ammonia. The IPCC tier 2 method to estimate methane emissions\, developed in 1996\, is based on the maximal methane production rate of fresh excreta (B0) and a conversion factor MCF to account for storage conditions. This calculation concept was meant to be simple\, because it should be applicable worldwide\, including regions where the staff carrying out the calculations has limited information about manure management systems or expertise in how management and environmental conditions may affect the processes behind methane emissions. Three researchers with much experience in developing models to calculate methane emissions from livestock farming will present new improvements of the tier 2 method as well as alternative approaches for calculating the emission. The intention of the webinar is to stimulate new initiatives to investigate the calculation of methane emissions from manure management\, with the aim to develop a new generation of methods. \n\n\n\nBiographies \n\n\n\nAndrew C. VanderZaag\, Science and Technology Branch\, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada\, Ottawa\, ON\, Canada.  \n\n\n\nDr. Andrew VanderZaag is a Research Scientist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada at the Central Experimental Farm in Ontario\, Canada. He was a Contributing Author of the 2019 IPCC Refinement to the guidelines for National Greenhous Gas Inventories. His research focuses on greenhouse gas emissions measurement and mitigation from dairy and swine manure systems and involves farm sites across Canada. This research leads to new approaches in beneficial management practices that producers can use to reduce emissions and improve their carbon footprint. \n\n\n\nSøren O\, Petersen. Department of Agroecology\, Aarhus University \n\n\n\nSøren O. Petersen has a background in microbial ecology. His research focuses on the interactions between soil\, organic amendments and microbial communities\, with an emphasis on carbon and nitrogen cycling and the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions in agricultural systems. He has contributed to fundamental and applied studies on gaseous emissions (such as nitrous oxide and methane)\, manure management\, and environmental controls affecting soil microorganisms. \n\n\n\nFrederik Rask Dalby\, Aarhus University\, Faculty of Technical Sciences (Tech)\, Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering \n\n\n\nFrederi R. Dalby has specialized in process modelling of organic matter transformation and methane emission from manure management systems. Recently\, much of his research has been focused on developing a tool for estimating farm-scale GHG emission\, including prediction of effects of mitigation technologies. Frederik is therefore involved in documentation and testing of mitigation technologies both in-situ and in the laboratory. \n\n\n\nSven G. Sommer (Aarhus University\, Faculty of Technical Sciences (Tech). Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering\, Denmark\,  \n\n\n\nSven G. Sommer is a specialist in bio-waste engineering with focus on emission of ammonia (NH3)\, the greenhouse gases methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O)\, separation of animal manure and organic biowaste and biogas production.

SUMMARY:Webinar - BNI Flagship : Key driving genetic\, environment and management factors that influence nitrous oxide mitigation in tropical and temperate crops
DESCRIPTION:This webinar presents the findings of a global meta-analysis examining the factors that regulate the effectiveness of biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) in reducing nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions from agricultural systems. BNI is a plant-mediated process in which certain metabolites inhibit soil nitrifying microorganisms\, slowing the conversion of ammonium to nitrate and potentially reducing N₂O emissions. \n\n\n\nBy synthesizing results from 23 published studies\, this analysis evaluates the influence of genetic\, environmental\, and management factors on cumulative N₂O emission reduction. The results highlight that plant genus and species\, soil physical characteristics (including texture\, clay and sand content\, and bulk density)\, soil nutrient status (such as soil organic carbon\, total nitrogen\, available phosphorus\, NH₄⁺ and NO₃⁻)\, drainage conditions\, irrigation\, geographic factors\, measurement timing\, and nitrogen fertilization practices (type and application rate) are key drivers shaping BNI effectiveness. \n\n\n\nMain speaker :  Samuel Diaz Vasquez Bio: Associate researcher at the Alliance of Bioversity International & CIAT\, in Colombia and MSc student researcher in Biological Sciences (University of Aberdeen\, UK) focused on greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation in agricultural systems. His work integrates soil microbiology\, forage management\, and molecular biology to study microbial communities involved in nitrogen cycle. Experience in soil analysis\, microbial identification using DNA sequencing\, agricultural experimentation\, fermentative bioprocesses\, biofertilizers formulation and the analysis of biological data using RStudio.

SUMMARY:Webinar : Manure management and GHG emissions in sub-Saharan Africa
DESCRIPTION:The webinar intends to give an overview of our knowledge about current manure management practices in sub-Saharan Africa and their impacts on GHG and ammonia emissions and other externalities (e.g.\, leaching\, health hazards). The discussions after the presentation will be about identifying pressing knowledge gaps linked to manure and ideas for collaboration. The aim for collaboration could be to explore opportunities for joint in-depth analysis of the current manure management systems and how efficiently manure is recycled to fertilize soil and reduce GHG emissions\, and to follow this up with studies filling the knowledge gaps identified. \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\nDavid Pelster \n\n\n\nDr. Pelster is a soil scientist at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) specializing on nitrogen [N] cycling in agricultural systems with a focus on measuring and mitigating ammonia and greenhouse gas (GHG – methane and nitrous oxide in particular) emissions related to agriculture. Dr. Pelster also worked as a scientist with the International Livestock Research Institute in Nairobi\, Kenya\, measuring and investigating practices to help mitigate GHG emissions from manure and soil management in smallholder agricultural systems. \n\n\n\nSonja Leitner \n\n\n\nSonja is an ecologist and biogeochemist working on carbon and nitrogen cycling in natural and agricultural ecosystems. She investigates nutrient transformations and nutrient losses via gaseous emissions and leaching\, with a special focus on greenhouse gas emissions (CO2\, CH4\, N2O). Her aim is to develop options for soil and manure management that reduce nutrient losses to improve livestock productivity and help achieve climate change mitigation and adaptation. Sonja works in mixed crop-livestock systems and pastoral rangelands in projects Kenya\, Uganda\, Tanzania\, and Ethiopia. \n\n\n\nNgwa Martin Ngwabie  \n\n\n\nMartin is an experienced engineer and consultant with over 20 years practical knowledge on greenhouse gas inventory\, mitigation and adaptation strategies from livestock barns\, manure and waste management in Germany\, Sweden\, Canada and Cameroon. He also assesses the biomethane potential of different feedstock and their blends.  He was a contributing author in the revised IPCC 2019 guidelines on Emissions from Manure Management. He has consulted for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada\, Environment Canada as well as the International Livestock Research Institute. He has been at the forefront of research on greenhouse gas emissions from livestock production systems in West-Africa for the past 10 years. \n\n\n\nClick HERE to register

SUMMARY:Hands-on workshop: Bridging the Gap from Sequence to Biology with Integrated Microbial Genomes
DESCRIPTION:The Integrated Microbial Genomes & Microbiomes system (IMG/M) supports the annotation\, comparative analysis\, and distribution of microbial genome and microbiome datasets. It includes over 200\,000 diverse publicly available datasets encompassing 150\,000 isolate genomes\, 23\,000 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs)\, and 40\,000 metagenomes along with curated environmental and other metadata to enable comprehensive comparative analysis. Importantly\, IMG/M provides data and tools via graphical user interface (GUI)\, so no programming knowledge and no dedicated compute infrastructure is required to perform computational analysis. IMG/M user interface is designed for use by microbiologists to quickly bridge the gap from sequence to biological inference. \n\n\n\nA primary goal of this workshop is to bring researchers from a broad range of disciplines up-to-speed with some of the latest developments in microbial genomics\, metagenomics\, and computational biology\, and to empower them with the knowledge and skills necessary to extract meaningful biological insights from sequence data. Participants will complete hands-on exercises involving comparative analysis\, visualization and interpretation using isolate genomes and consider how to leverage uncultivated metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). \n\n\n\nWORKSHOP INSTRUCTOR: Reckha SESHADRI – DOE Joint Genome Institute \n\n\n\nImportant information:Session 1Date: June 5 2025Time: 2:45 pm – 6:00 pmLocation: La Comédie\, Clermont-FerrandSession 2Date: June 5 2025Time: 9:00 am – 5:00 pmLocation: INRAE – Theix Research center \n\n\n\nPlease note: Since the two sessions are not independent\, full participation is required.
