Buma publishes on soil carbon stocks

Published: Nov. 15, 2018

Brian Buma, Assistant Professor of Integrated Biology, and colleagues recently published, Large, climate-sensitive soil carbon stocks mapped with pedology-informed machine learning in the North Pacific coastal temperate rainforests in Environmental Research Letters. This international work spanned Alaska and Canada, covering the most biomass dense ecosystem on the continent at an unprecedented resolution and extent. In it, the team maps soil carbon at a very fine grain and explore controls on where carbon accumulates, as well as compare estimates to global products used in climate modeling - and find ways to improve them.
