New projects: Forest Management and Carbon
• Use USFS planned forest thinning to investigate uneven and even aged canopy carbon components around W Creek
• Radiocarbon tracers and soil auto chambers (K. Macfarlane, C. Phillips, E. Marin-Spiotta) to look at respiration partitioning
• Restart old-growth site to complement UMBS/FASET (P. Curtis, C. Gough, G. Bohrer, A. Fotis)
• Ecosystem/carbon cycle modeling of land management in heterogeneous regions for climate adaptation/mitigation assessment (R. Scheller, T. Gower, M. Dietze, D. Moore, D. Hua)
