Potential and Economic Valuation of Carbon in Grasslands
Kevin R. Trumpp, Chang Zhao, andJosé Dubeux
Grasslands have great potential for removing carbon from the atmosphere, helping contribute to the state economy while regulating greenhouse gases. This publication targets the education of Extension faculty and producers on understanding the carbon cycle in grasslands and the potential for economic valuation of carbon accrual in grazing lands. Written by Kevin R. Trumpp, Chang Zhao, and José Dubeux, and published by the UF/IFAS Department of Agronomy, September 2025.
