How urban gardens help rebalance carbon: Q&A with PhD student Atefeh Movassagh
Atefeh Movassagh is a PhD student at the University of Bonn and the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences (International Centre for Sustainable Development, IZNE). In the final phase of her doctorate, she investigates how land use and management practices influence soil organic carbon stock (SOC) and nutrients in urban green spaces of the Bonn and Rhein-Sieg districts. Her research not only advances scientific understanding but also provides practical recommendations for sustainable urban land use. In this interview, she explains her work, its significance, and how every garden can contribute to climate action.
