Density fractionation and 13C reveal changes in soil carbon following woody encroachment in a desert ecosystem

Creator:

Throop, Heather L., Lajtha, Kate, and Kramer, Marc

Abstract:

Woody encroachment has dramatically changed land cover patterns in arid and semiarid systems (drylands) worldwide over the past 150 years. This change is known to influence bulk soil carbon (C) pools, but the implications for dynamics and stability of these pools are not well understood. Working in a Chihuahuan Desert...

Soil organic carbon response to six years of warming : assessing the impacts of altered diurnal temperature range

Creator:

Murphey, Virginia L. W.

Abstract:

There is a growing consensus that anthropogenic warming will impact soil organic matter (SOM). Globally, soil contains 2-3 times more carbon (C) than plants, and like plants, temperature induced change of SOM could have significant climate repercussions. Although, the majority of warming experiments have increased day and night temperatures equally,...
