The substantial stocks of carbon sequestered in temperate grassland ecosystems are
located largely below ground in roots and soil. Organic C in the soil is located in discrete …

The relationship between soil structure and the ability of soil to stabilize soil organic matter
(SOM) is a key element in soil C dynamics that has either been overlooked or treated in a …

Carbon exchange between the terrestrial biosphere and the atmosphere is one of the key
processes that need to be assessed in the context of the Kyoto Protocol. Several studies …

It has been suggested that increases in temperature can accelerate the decomposition of
organic carbon contained in forest mineral soil (Cs), and, therefore, that global warming …

Ecosystem simulation models use descriptive input parameters to establish the physiology,
biochemistry, structure, and allocation patterns of vegetation functional types, or biomes. For …

Improved management of soil organic matter (SOM) in arable soils is essential to sustain
agricultural lands and the urban and natural ecosystems with which they interact. Humus …

Recognition of the importance of soil organic matter (SOM) in soil health and quality is a
major part of fostering a holistic, preventive approach to agricultural management. Students …

A series of experiments was established to characterize biochars made from four feedstocks
regionally available in the Pacific Northwest (wood pellets, softwood bark, switchgrass …
