Research study probes how warming will affect carbon in soils | UO

Efforts by UO researchers to study how climate change may change Pacific Northwest grasslands have blossomed into global collaborations with two recently published reports, and a third is coming.

The three studies focus on the ability of soils to continue to store excess carbon in the face of warming conditions. Students at individual research sites have produced mixed results, but the new findings may help to change the scientific understanding. The first study was led by Yale University and the second by the Marine Biological Laboratory at Wood Hole, Massachusetts.
