Bram WG Stone

Project type

FICUS Research

Soil microorganisms drive the decomposition of terrestrial carbon, releasing CO2 into the atmosphere and retaining additional pools belowground. Thus, a critical parameter in climate modeling efforts…

Project type

Limited Scope

Growing evidence suggests that physical projection is more important in driving organic matter persistence in soil than chemical recalcitrance. Much of the carbon physically protected in soil is…
