Seeing the forest for the soil: topographic controls on soil carbon dynamics in the boreal mixedwood forest
DownloadFall 2018
Boreal forest soils store an estimated 272 Pg of carbon. Due to a high degree of spatial heterogeneity, there is a wide range in carbon stores in this ecosystem. Changes in topography and forest structure are important to carbon distribution, influencing the soil microclimate and the chemical...

Transition Metal Oxide Nanoparticles Decorated Carbon Nanomaterials as Earth-Abundant Electrocatalysts for Zinc-Air Batteries
DownloadFall 2022
As awareness of global warming increases and the geopolitically influenced energy supply fluctuates, the global economy is in dire need of a transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. Although renewable energies are sustainable and have favorable environmental impacts, they suffer...
