| Title | Differences in the amount and stability of SOC under aspen and conifer forests in Northern Utah |
| Creator | Van Miegroet, Helga Jacobson, A. R. Gruselle, M. |
| Description | Quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) is an iconic component in the western landscape that is threatened by conifer encroachment. Prior studies in Northern Utah have shown that mineral soils under aspen forest contain significantly more soil organic carbon (SOC) than soils under adjacent conifer forests, and that despite rapid turnover of aspen litter, SOC in the upper mineral soil under aspen is more stable and less decomposable. Thus there is great concern about the impact of conifer... |
