Cutin and suberin in mixed-wood boreal forest plants and their use as markers for origin of soil organic matter
DownloadSpring 2020
Quantifying above and belowground inputs to soil organic matter is important to assess forest soil health and to develop practices that increase the soil organic matter present in forest soils. Cutin and suberin are biopolymers found in leaves and roots, respectively, that protect plants from...

Developing and testing methods to assess species extinction risk and ecosystem degeneration
DownloadFall 2016
Species worldwide are becoming increasingly threatened due to the rapid changes in climate and land use induced by human activities. The loss of species threatens the provision of food, goods and many other ecosystem services essential to the sustainability and well-being of human society. It is...
