Monday paper: Comparing soil biogeochemical processes in novel and natural boreal forest ecosystems

Quideau, S. A., Swallow, M. J. B., Prescott, C. E., Grayston, S. J., Oh, S.-W. 2013. Comparing soil biogeochemical processes in novel and natural boreal forest ecosystems. Biogeosciences, 10, 5651-5661. DOI: 10.5194/bg-10-5651-2013 Abstract Emulating the variability that exists in the natural landscape prior to disturbance should be a goal of soil reconstruction and land reclamation efforts follow ...[Read More]

Monday paper: A dual isotope approach to isolate soil carbon pools of different turnover times

Torn, M. S., Kleber, M., Zavaleta, E. S., Zhu, B., Field, C. B., Trumbore, S. E. 2013. A dual isotope approach to isolate soil carbon pools of different turnover times. Biogeosciences, 10, 8067-8081. DOI: 10.5194/bg-10-8067-2013. Abstract Soils are globally significant sources and sinks of atmospheric CO2. Increasing the resolution of soil carbon turnover estimates is important for predicting the ...[Read More]
