Dissolved Organic Carbon Production and Flux from Long Term Litter Manipulations in a Pacific Northwest Old-Growth Forest

Creator:

Evans, Lucas R.

Abstract:

Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) flux is an important mechanism to convey soil carbon (C) from aboveground organic debris (litter) to deeper soil horizons and can influence the formation of stable soil organic carbon (SOC) compounds. Aboveground litter quantity and quality was manipulated for 20-years in an old-growth Douglas fir forest...

Characterization of soil carbon and nitrogen pools following a decade of detritus manipulation in a temperate coniferous forest

Creator:

Wilson, Lea I.

Abstract:

Soil organic matter (SOM) is the result of the balance between decomposition and incorporation of detritus from both above and below ground sources into the soil. It composes only a fraction of the soil by mass but it is one of the most critical components. The Detritus Input and Removal...
