How On Earth

What do Grasslands Have to do with Climate Change?


Listen Later

From Science MOAB

We hear an interview aired by our sister community radio station’s, Science MOAB. Ecologist Brooke Osborne talks about how dryland ecosystems – such as the grasslands east of Boulder – influence the whole planet. Dryands cover 40% of the earth; they support a third of the planet’s humans, and while their roots store lots of carbon, they’re vulnerable to climate change, overgrazing and aggressive land management.

In this episode, you’ll also hear about this weekend’s Colorado Environmental Film Festival in Golden.
