Harvard Forest Symposium Abstract 2012

  • Title: Modeling and forecasting carbon dynamics in soils at Harvard Forest
  • Primary Author: Nsalambi Nkongolo (Lincoln University (Missouri))
  • Abstract:

    The objective of this research is to derive empirical data on carbon dioxide fluxes and carbon stocks from soil in rocky (formerly glaciated) soils and improve models of carbon dynamics that incorporate spatial variability of CO2 fluxes, soil C, bulk density, pH, soil depth, rock content and their relationship with above-ground C-stocks and species composition. We will be conducting an intensive sampling this summer 2012 for CO2 fluxes (using ACE Automated Soil CO2 Exchange System) and soil properties.
