The Carbon Cycle

The carbon cycle lies at the heart of human-caused changes to climate, and the terrestrial components of the global carbon cycle are some of the most important but uncertain aspects of future projections of climate change. Within the terrestrial C cycle, soils are particularly important both because of the very large stocks of C in this reservoir and because the mechanisms that maintain the stability of C in soils remain uncertain. Each of the links below describes different aspects of our work and links to laboratory publications or products.
