The research is expected to strengthen fundamental scientific understanding of the integrated...
- This two-year, $180,000 National Science Foundation project grant funds research into the impacts of forest fires on soil carbon biogeochemistry and the forest carbon cycle under a changing climate. Dr. Fettrow of Ardmore, Pennsylvania will investigate how forest fires alter belowground soil carbon levels and biogeochemistry. The researcher will determine the magnitude of soil carbon loss during fires and how post-fire soils and carbon storage are changed. Integrated laboratory and field...
