WEDNESDAY
1:30 pm-5 pm
We will present cutting-edge research and discuss the challenges of
projecting forest carbon dynamics including empirical relationships
and robust models that integrate net primary productivity, detritus
generation, heterotrophic respiration, and the residence times of
various soil organic carbon components.
