| Title | Evaluation of the Effect of Conifer Encroachment on Soil Organic Carbon Storage and Soil Properties in Aspen Ecosystems of Northern Utah |
| Creator | Van Miegroet, Helga Woldeselassie, Mical |
| Description | In the Intermountain West, aspen (Populus tremuloides) has declined mainly due to a combination of successional processes, fire suppression and long-term use of ungulates which has led to replacement by conifers, sagebrush or other shrub communities. Conifer encroachment is believed to cause changes in the ecosystem properties such as water yield, biodiversity, and soil properties. The effect of conifer encroachment on soil organic carbon (SOC) storage is still largely unknown. The objectives... |
