Microbial community structure as influenced by season and stand age in a Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) ecosystem

Creator:

Kucera, Jennifer Moore

Abstract:

Forest harvest can have significant impacts on forest ecosystems that may influence the capacity of soils to sequester carbon (C). The microbial community controls decomposition, which is a critical process in partitioning litter- and root-C between CO₂ and storage in semi-permanent soil-C pools. The objectives of this study were to...
