Quantifying C and N contents and isotope signatures of SOM pools in the H. J. Andrews DIRT plots

Creator:

Keirstead, Heath

Abstract:

The mechanisms governing short- and long-term belowground carbon dynamics need to be understood. As part of a larger project developed to assess the effect of quantity and quality of litter inputs on the rate of soil organic matter (SOM) formation, I examined SOM in the H. J. Andrews Detritus Input...
