Creator:: Gordon, Ester K.
Abstract:: Soil is the largest terrestrial store of carbon (C) making it a critical component of the global C cycle. To model global carbon budgets more accurately we need to understand dynamics and turnover of the many different functional soil C pools that exist in soil. Many different methods are used...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: (250 – 2000 μm) form around fresh residue forming coarse intraggregate particulate organic matter

Creator:: Murphey, Virginia L. W.
Abstract:: There is a growing consensus that anthropogenic warming will impact soil organic matter (SOM). Globally, soil contains 2-3 times more carbon (C) than plants, and like plants, temperature induced change of SOM could have significant climate repercussions. Although, the majority of warming experiments have increased day and night temperatures equally,...

Full Text:: Offer, Fox Peterson, Hannah Smith, Kim Townsend, Stephanie Vargas, Jenn Wig, and Jenn Young. Thank you

Creator:: Strid, April R.
Abstract:: Soil dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is a small but crucial part of the forest carbon cycle. Characterizing the relationship between detrital inputs and soil DOC chemistry is crucial to understanding the ultimate fate of root carbon, fallen wood and needles. Chemical differences in the DOC pool may help to explain...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: for their extensive knowledge and friendly assistance in Angel White’s lab. Thanks to Kim Townsend

Creator:: Wig, Jennifer D.
Abstract:: Globally, the forestry sector is the second largest contributor of greenhouse gases, and sustainable forest management is a major target of international environmental policy. However, there is the assumption underlying many policy recommendations that an increase in above-ground carbon stocks correspond to long term increases in ecosystem carbon stocks, the...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: contributions of soils, time, and analytical expertise, to Kim Townsend, Virginia Murphey, Kristen Peterson

Creator:: Diaz, David D.
Abstract:: Soils are a globally significant carbon (C) pool and have the potential to respond to elevated CO2 and environmental changes through positive feedback cycles that enhance the turnover of soil organic matter (SOM). Understanding the mechanisms governing the turnover of SOM is particularly important for modeling the fate of C...
