Changes to particulate versus mineral-associated soil carbon after 50 years of litter manipulation in forest and prairie experimental ecosystems

Lajtha, Kate; Townsend, Kimberly L.; Kramer, Marc G.; Swanston, Christopher; Bowden, Richard D.; Nadelhoffer, Knute (Springer, 2014-06)

Models of ecosystem carbon (C) balance generally assume a strong relationship between NPP, litter inputs, and soil C accumulation, but there is little direct evidence for such a coupled relationship. Using a unique 50-year ...
The detrital input and removal treatment (DIRT) network: Insights into soil carbon stabilization

Lajtha, Kate; Bowden, Richard D.; Crow, Susan E.; Fekete, István; Kotroczó, Zsolt; Plante, Alain F.; Simpson, Myrna J.; Nadelhoffer, Knute (Elsevier, 2018-11-01)

Ecological research networks functioning across climatic and edaphic gradients are critical for improving predictive understanding of biogeochemical cycles at local through global scales. One international network, the ...
Sources of plant‐derived carbon and stability of organic matter in soil: implications for global change

Crow, Susan E.; Lajtha, Kate; Filley, Timothy R.; Swanston, Christopher; Bowden, Richard D.; Caldwell, Bruce E. (Wiley Blackwell, 2009-07)

Alterations in forest productivity and changes in the relative proportion of above‐ and belowground biomass may have nonlinear effects on soil organic matter (SOM) storage. To study the influence of plant litter inputs on ...
