The Global Change Program at U.S. Geological Survey has
funded a 2 year effort to establish a soil carbon network and
database for Alaska based on collaborators from numerous
institutions. Soil carbon pools in northern high latitude regions
and their response to climate changes are highly uncertain, and
collaboration is required fr ... [more]

Product Title: Soil carbon dynamics in interior Alaska
Description: 1) compilation and synthesis of available existing data in the development of statistical models that will estimate soil carbon storage at 1-km resolution across the landscape based on associations between landscape features and fire history, and
2) incorporation of this information into modeling approaches that will improve estimates of soil carbon storage and changes in Alaska.
