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...

Isotopic composition of respired CO2 in a small watershed : development and testing of an automated sampling system and analysis of first year data

Creator:

Hauck, Mark J.

Abstract:

Warming of the terrestrial biosphere due to the anthropogenic addition of carbon dioxide to the earth’s atmosphere is becoming a major focus of scientific inquiry. Predictions of the extent of this warming are hampered by uncertainty in the ability of the earth’s ecosystems to counteract this effect by sequestering carbon...
