The Role of Anaerobic Microsites in Soil Carbon Storage

Lead Institution
Stanford University
Principal Investigator
Scott Fendorf
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
The overarching goal of this project is to quantitatively place the importance of metabolic constraints in anaerobic microsites on the rate of soil organic matter (OM) oxidation, and thus advance our…

Organic N Turnover in Soil: An Overlooked Component of C Cycling

Lead Institution
Oregon State University
Principal Investigator
David Myrold
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
It is now generally accepted that most of the organic matter in soils consists of materials that have been processed by the microbial community. Indeed, "necromass"--the remains of dead…

Using an engineered protein proxy to constrain protein- mineral interactions

Lead Institution
Oregon State University
Principal Investigator
Markus Kleber
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Objectives: This research intends to contribute to a better mechanistic understanding of protein-mineral attachment by answering questions such as: How do variations in the amino acid sequence of…
