Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Temperate ecosystems are experiencing increasing levels of atmospheric CO2 and nitrogen (N) deposition, which alter plant productivity and the amount and quality of above and belowground carbon. The…

Principal Investigator

John Dunbar

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

The ground is an enormous reservoir of organic carbon (1,2). The concentration and residence time of carbon in soil varies with depth (1). The largest concentration of carbon is at the surface…
