Monday paper: Mesocosm approach to quantify dissolved inorganic carbon percolation fluxes

Thaysen, E. M., Jessen, S., Ambus, P., Beier, C., Postma, D., and Jakobsen, I.. 2014. Technical Note: Mesocosm approach to quantify dissolved inorganic carbon percolation fluxes. Biogeosciences, 11, 1077-1084. DOI:10.5194/bg-11-1077-2014. Abstract Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) fluxes across the vadose zone are influenced by a complex interplay of biological, chemical and physical factors. A nov ...[Read More]

Monday paper: Modelling microbial exchanges between forms of soil nitrogen in contrasting ecosystems

Pansu, M., Machado, D., Bottner, P., and Sarmiento, L.: Modelling microbial exchanges between forms of soil nitrogen in contrasting ecosystems, Biogeosciences, 11, 915-927, doi:10.5194/bg-11-915-2014, 2014. The questions It is well known that N and C combine to form organic molecules due to biological processes, although they come together from different pathways. C is extracted from carbon dioxid ...[Read More]
