Relationship of Soil Fungal Communities and Burn Severity to Post-Fire Vegetation Response

Creator:

Roach, Skylar K.

Abstract:

The effects of fire on above-ground forest systems have been extensively studied. However, research on fire effects on belowground processes is lacking. While the soil microbiome is understood to be vital to conifer growth and regeneration, the complexity of soils means that research on the topic has largely been accomplished...

Carbon Sequestration Potential After Riparian Restoration—A Baseline Study of Carbon Stocks and Mycorrhizal Communities

Creator:

DiGioia, Guenevere E. P.

Abstract:

Increased atmospheric carbon emissions of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and methane acerbate climate change through carbon cycle disruption. Riparian areas offer substantial ecosystem services such as water filtration, slowing and cooling, and as is being discovered, a significant carbon sink. Total percent carbon and carbon stocks in restored riparian areas...
