A study in Forest Ecosystems shows that particulate organic carbon (POC) dominates surface soils, while mineral-associated ...

Forests, for their part, store roughly 40% of the Earth's soil carbon. Because of that, there have been many research projects studying how climate change affects the carbon flux from forest soils.

Soils of coniferous forest ecosystems are important for the global carbon cycle, and the identification of active microbial decomposers is essential for understanding organic matter transformation ...

and nutrient depletion); and the maintenance of healthy soils. Students will examine the problems of managing forest ecosystems for a variety of societal goals and objectives. The course will start ...
