Title The Effect of Altered Summer Precipitation on CO2 Loss from Forest and Rangeland Soils in Northern Utah
Creator Van Miegroet, Helga Olsen, Hayley R.
Description Soils represent the largest carbon (C) reservoir of terrestrial ecosystems. The ability of soils to hold on to this soil organic carbon (SOC) depends on climate and C quality. The SOC dynamics in forest and range ecosystems in montane areas of the Intermountain West are still poorly understood, as is their response to global climate change. This study addresses how C quality, influenced by vegetation type, and increased summer precipitation affect the rate of SOC losses via respiration in...
