Carbon Cycling Dynamics in Response to Pine Beetle Infection and Climate Variation
- University of Colorado, Boulder, CO (United States)
We originally proposed to study and discover the changes that have occurred in soil carbon pools, as a result of tree mortality due to beetle infection, and the ease by which those pools release CO2 to the atmosphere in mountain forests in the Western US. We studied forest plots at two sites – the Niwot Ridge AmeriFlux site and the Fraser Experimental Forest site, both in Colorado.
