Carbon storage in a Pacific Northwest conifer forest ecosystem : a chronosequence approach

Creator:

Janisch, Jack E.

Abstract:

As concern over global warming intensifies, sequestration and storage of atmospheric CO2 has become an important scientific and policy issue. Confusion persists, however, over interpretation of forest carbon (C) source-sink dynamics, in part because conclusions drawn depend on temporal and spatial scales of analysis (e.g. day-week scale vs. successional-scale), type...

Root decomposition in three coniferous forests : effects of substrate quality, temperature, and moisture

Creator:

Chen, Hua

Abstract:

Controls of substrate quality, temperature, and moisture on woody root decomposition in the Pacific Northwest were explored using chronosequences, time series, laboratory incubations, and simulation modeling approaches at three sites: Cascade Head (CAH), H. J. Andrews (HJA), and Pringle Falls Experimental Forests (PRF). In the chronosequence study, a structural component-oriented...
