The DIRT on Q10: Differential temperature response of soils depleted of labile inputs

Poster Number:  262 Presenter/Primary Author:  Lorien Reynolds The decomposition of soil organic carbon (SOC) is expected to increase with global warming.  SOC decomposition has been commonly described by kinetic models with at least two pools with slow a

Earthworms effects on soil respiration in a sub-tropical wet forest in Puerto Rico

Poster Number:  254 Presenter/Primary Author:  Grizelle Gonzalez Carbon storage, as well as other ecosystem services of soils, is an emergent property on the landscape scale that can be attributed to mechanisms occurring on scales orders of magnitude smaller.

Patterns of soil properties and respiration along an elevation gradient in the Luquillo Mountains of Northeastern Puerto Rico

Poster Number:  247 Presenter/Primary Author:  Dingfang Chen As an important component in global carbon cycle, soil respiration is one of the primary paths to release carbon fixed by vegetation to the atmosphere.
