Five members of the Woody Weeds team participated in the Summer Institute 2018 at the offices of the National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Centre (SESYNC) in Annapolis, USA. The five joined six other teams for a week of training on the of statistical software for improved interdisciplinary collaboration.

During the week, the team worked on a small project involving data collected in the Woody Weeds project, with the aim to estimate how soil carbon stocks have changed over the course of the Prosopis invasion in Baringo county, Kenya, and how control of the invader and restoration of grassland may affect soil organic carbon stocks in the future.

Thanks, SESYNC for the great experience!
