Density fractionation and 13C reveal changes in soil carbon following woody encroachment in a desert ecosystem

Creator:

Throop, Heather L., Lajtha, Kate, and Kramer, Marc

Abstract:

Woody encroachment has dramatically changed land cover patterns in arid and semiarid systems (drylands) worldwide over the past 150 years. This change is known to influence bulk soil carbon (C) pools, but the implications for dynamics and stability of these pools are not well understood. Working in a Chihuahuan Desert...

Litter controls of microbial community composition and function in forest soils

Creator:

Brant, Justin B.

Abstract:

Most carbon (C) transformations in soil are carried out by a diverse and complex soil microbial community. The size and composition of the soil microbial community is determined by poorly understood interactions between the quantity and chemical composition of plant inputs, as well as climate. Given the metabolic diversity of...
