abstract: Kristen's research explores how disturbance affects the global carbon | |||
cycle. Carbon enters soil from dead plant material and exits the soil through | |||
decomposition and root respiration. The amount of carbon stored in soil is the | |||
sum of these inputs minus the sum of loses. Understanding what controls this | |||
balance is important because 1) there is nearly three times the amount of carbon | |||
in soils than in the atmosphere, so changes in soil carbon storage can have | |||
large impacts on the amount of atmospheric carbon, and 2) soil carbon is tied | |||
to soil health.For most of her career Kristen has been focused on the carbon | |||
cycle of the boreal region of Interior Alaska and Canada. Boreal soils are known | |||
carbon sinks, meaning that more carbon enters than leaves the soil. However, | |||
boreal regions are experiencing a great deal of warming due to climate change. | |||
This warming is causing more and higher intensity fires. It is also thawing | |||
the permafrost, or frozen soil, that underlies much of the boreal region. These | |||
disturbances have the potential to impact not just the amount of carbon entering | |||
and leaving the soil, but also the way carbon moves through these ecosystems | |||
and rates of this movement. Kristen's research looks for these changes.Non-USGS | and rates of this movement. Kristen's research looks for these changes.Non-USGS | ||
