Carbon is crucial for many ecosystem services. However, it is difficult to determine the impact of forest management activities on forest soil organic carbon stocks and fluxes. This short presentation discusses interesting questions on sampling design, measurement, and analysis of the impact of management activities on forest soil organic carbon.
Learning Objectives:
State the importance of carbon in forest soils.
Discuss issues with measuring forest soil organic carbon.
Think about the impact of management activities on forest SOC.
