  • Evaluation of transgenes for stress tolerance, lignin modification, and growth enhancement in poplar

    Creator:
    Elias, Ani Anna
    Abstract:
    We evaluated genes previously identified from a large scale functional genomics screen for their potential value to help enhance carbon sequestration in planted trees. We used poplar as a model tree species because of its abundant genetic variation, ease of gene transfer, and availability of large databases for genomic, anatomical,...

  • Effects of 20 years of litter and root manipulations on soil organic matter dynamics

    Creator:
    Wig, Jennifer D.
    Abstract:
    Globally, the forestry sector is the second largest contributor of greenhouse gases, and sustainable forest management is a major target of international environmental policy. However, there is the assumption underlying many policy recommendations that an increase in above-ground carbon stocks correspond to long term increases in ecosystem carbon stocks, the...

  • 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...
