Measuring and monitoring soil organic carbon stocks in agricultural lands for climate mitigation
Author(s):Paul, Eldor A.; Ogle, Stephen M.; Conant, Richard; Paustian, Keith
Date Issued:2011-04
Format:born digital; articles
Policies that encourage greenhouse-gas emitters to mitigate emissions through terrestrial carbon (C) offsets – C sequestration in soils or biomass – will promote practices that reduce erosion and build soil fertility, while ...
Role of soil characteristics on temperature sensitivity of soil organic matter, The
Author(s):Paul, Eldor A.; Morris, Sherri J.; Drijber, Rhae A.; Margrini-Bair, Kim; Steinweg, J. Megan; Six, Johan; Conant, Richard T.; Plante, Alain F.; Haddix, Michelle L.
Date Issued:2011-01
Format:born digital; articles
The uncertainty associated with how projected climate change will affect global C cycling could have a large impact on predictions of soil C stocks. The purpose of our study was to determine how various soil decomposition ...
Chemical differences in soil organic matter fractions determined by diffuse-reflectance mid-infrared spectroscopy
Author(s):Collins, Harold P.; Reeves, James B.; Calderón, Francisco J.; Paul, Eldor A.
Date Issued:2011-03
Format:born digital; articles
We performed mid-infrared (MidIR) spectral interpretation of fractionated fresh and incubated soils to determine changes in soil organic matter (SOM) chemistry during incubation. Soils from four sites and three depths were ...
