• Abstract:

  We will collect pilot measurements of CO2 and CH4 dynamics across soil depths, from tree stems, and in streamwater samples in areas of the Prospect Hill tract from uplands to wetlands. These measurements will help to characterize processes that release methane to the atmosphere and processes that transport carbon laterally through upland and wetland soils and into streams.
