Turfgrass Greenhouse Gas Emissions with Drs. Quincy Law and Jon Trappe

<p>“Greenhouse gas fluxes from turfgrass systems: Species, growth rate, clipping management, and environmental effects” with Drs. Quincy Law and Jon Trappe</p> <p>Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring gases that contribute to climate change. These gases, like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, are both absorbed and produced by turfgrasses; however, it is possible that choosing the right grass species and management practices can help reduce emissions. In this episode, Drs. Quincy Law and Jon Trappe, discuss two experiments in which they tried to pinpoint which grass species and management practices are most effective at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from turfgrasses.</p> <p>Tune in to learn:</p> <ul> <li>How grass growth rates can impact emissions</li> <li>Which grass species are best to plant for reduced emissions</li> <li>Which other factors could impact turfgrass managers planting decisions</li> <li>What future turfgrass and greenhouse gas research is needed</li> </ul> <p>If you would like more information about this topic, this episode’s paper is available here: <a href= "https://doi.org/10.1002/jeq2.20222">https://doi.org/10.1002/jeq2.20222</a></p> <p>It will be freely available from 19 November to 3 December, 2021.</p> <p>If you would like to find transcripts for this episode or sign up for our newsletter, please visit our website: <a href= "http://fieldlabearth.libsyn.com/">http://fieldlabearth.libsyn.com/</a></p> <p>Contact us at <a href= "mailto:podcast@sciencesocieties.org">podcast@sciencesocieties.org</a> or on Twitter @FieldLabEarth if you have comments, questions, or suggestions for show topics, and if you want more content like this don’t forget to subscribe.</p> <p>If you would like to reach out to Quincy, you can find him here: <a href="mailto:quincy.law@ndsu.edu">quincy.law@ndsu.edu</a></p> <p>If you would like to reach out to Jon, you can find him here: <a href="mailto:jontrappe@gmail.com">jontrappe@gmail.com</a></p> <p><strong>Resources</strong></p> <p>CEU Quiz: <a href= "https:
