Linking soluble C to microbial community composition and dynamics during decomposition of ¹³C-labeled ryegrass

Creator:

McMahon, Shawna K.

Abstract:

Ryegrass residue consists of three main C fractions: readily available soluble C, intermediately available cellulose and hemicellulose, and slowly available lignin. Changes in chemical composition during decomposition influence rate of degradation as well as composition of the microbial community involved. Use of ¹³C-labeled plant material coupled with analysis of phospholipid...

Homogenization of Detrital Leachate in an Old-Growth Coniferous Forest, OR : DOC Fluorescence Signatures in Soils Undergoing Long-Term Litter Manipulations

Creator:

Strid, April R.

Abstract:

Soil dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is a small but crucial part of the forest carbon cycle. Characterizing the relationship between detrital inputs and soil DOC chemistry is crucial to understanding the ultimate fate of root carbon, fallen wood and needles. Chemical differences in the DOC pool may help to explain...
