Fire and harvesting impacts on forest floor and water extractable organic matter chemical composition in the Canadian Rocky Mountains
DownloadFall 2024
Forests globally store a significant portion of terrestrial organic carbon, where two-thirds of that carbon is stored as soil organic matter (SOM). The dissolved organic matter (DOM) in soils plays a crucial role in carbon and nutrient cycling. Understanding the dynamics of DOM and SOM in forest...
