Aboveground biomass and ecosystem carbon pools in tropical secondary forests growing in six life zones of Costa Rica

Creator:

Cifuentes Jara, Miguel

Abstract:

Carbon sequestration in tropical secondary forests growing in all climates must be quantified to understand their potential role in adaptation and mitigation strategies of global climate change. Total aboveground biomass (TAGB), soil carbon, and total ecosystem carbon (TEC) were measured in 54 secondary forests growing along a broad bioclimatic gradient...

Characteristics of soil organic matter in two forest soils

Creator:

Crow, Susan E.

Abstract:

Soil organic matter (SOM) is the terrestrial biosphere's largest pool of organic carbon (C) and is an integral part of C cycling globally. Soil organic matter composition typically can be traced directly back to the type of detrital inputs; however, the stabilization of SOM results as a combination of chemical...
