Courtney Creamer

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Microbial necromass—or the extracellular and intracellular remains of dead microbes—can make up a significant portion of soil organic carbon and nitrogen. But a large quantity of necromass doesn’t…

Changes in mineral stabilized soil organic carbon composition during pedogenesis

Lead Institution

US Geological Survey, Menlo Park

Principal Investigator

Marjorie Schulz

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

A detailed study of carbon in soil chronosequences along the precipitation gradient of the west coast of the U.S. will quantify the mechanisms through which carbon is stabilized and show how…
