Patterns of carbon storage within a mature northern highbush blueberry production system

Creator:

Nemeth, Denise Alexandra

Abstract:

The objectives of this study were to: 1) determine how organic matter (incorporated vs. surface mulch) and nitrogen fertilization rate impact northern highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) plant biomass, carbon accumulation, plant losses and allocation, and mycorrhizal infection in mature plants, and 2) determine the magnitude of carbon fluxes (carbon...

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...
