Detrital Influences on Soil Carbon Stabilization in Wet Temperate Forest Soils

Creator:

Pierson, Derek N.

Abstract:

Soils, with their potential to store and stabilize carbon (C), are an essential resource for sustaining forest productivity, as well as for efforts to reduce atmospheric C concentrations. Protecting existing soil C and harnessing the sequestration potential of our soils require an improved understanding of the processes through which soil...

Mechanisms of Organic Matter Accumulation and Feedbacks on Pore Space in Ferralsols/Oxisols Containing High Carbon Stocks

Creator:

Martinez, Pedro

Abstract:

Deeply weathered soils in tropical rainforests and savannas are classified as Ferralsols according to the World References Bases for Soil Resources (WRB). Ferralsols are most nearly akin to the Oxisols order defined in the US Soil Taxonomy. The acidity, low cation exchange capacity, and strong phosphorus retention by the oxidic...
