Carmen Martinez

Project type

Exploratory Research

We propose a series of experiments aimed at elucidating the mechanisms associated with the incorporation of nitrate (NO3-) into soil organic matter (SOM), with broad implications for the N…

Character of organic matter in soils of temperate forest ecosystems: Do chlorophyll catabolites (phyllobilins) travel deep?
