CEES Seminar Oct 27th, 3:30

[Natalie Campbell]

The CEES Seminar Series presents:

*Dr. Ashley Lang, *NSF Postdoctoral Fellow Indiana University

*Soil organic matter formation and persistence in eastern U.S. forests*


Forests are one of the largest terrestrial carbon sinks, and nearly
two-thirds of the carbon in forests is contained in the soil. However,
forests vary in their capacity to store carbon, and the factors that
determine this capacity are not clearly defined. With my research, I am
testing the importance of some of the most commonly proposed drivers of
forest soil carbon storage— soil mineral composition, carbon quality and
quantity, and large-scale environmental factors like climate. Using soil
collected in forests across the eastern U.S., my work is aimed at
uncovering both the conditions that support soil organic matter formation
as well as long-term carbon persistence.

*Friday Oct 27th **3:30pm. *
*Hudson 106*

*All seminars are free and open to the public. *
