Shifts in Carbon Flux Between Plants and Soil Microorganisms
Entry ID:
USDA0283
Summary
Abstract:
The objective of this research is to quantify the flux of C and N in the
plant-soil system, and to determine if increases in atmospheric CO2 alter the cycling of C and N within the soil. Forest tress grown at elevated CO2 typically increased photosynthetic assimilation and production, and many allocate a disproportionate amount of carbohydrate toward the production of below ground structures.
