The methodology, implementation, and analysis of the isotopic composition of soil respired CO₂ in forest ecological research

Creator:

Kayler, Zachary Eric

Abstract:

Soils are the largest terrestrial pool of carbon, therefore it is critical to understand what controls soil carbon efflux to the atmosphere in light of current climate uncertainty. The primary efflux of carbon from soil is soil respiration which is typically categorized into autotrophic and heterotrophic respiration. These two components...

Ecohydrological mediation of water budget partitioning and time scales of subsurface flow in a seasonally semi-arid grassland

Creator:

Pangle, Luke A.

Abstract:

Understanding how the interactions and feedbacks between plant function, climate, and soils ultimately affects the terrestrial water balance and subsurface flow processes is major challenge in scientific hydrology. This dissertation summarizes the findings of a manipulative climate warming experiment, an observational field study that utilized stable-isotope tracers, and associated modeling...
