Summary:
The objective is to measure the age and stock of organic carbon derived from wildfires (fire-derived carbon) in the Mackenzie River region, and examine long- and short-term processes controlling the size and distribution of fire-derived carbon stocks in soils.
The research team will measure fire-derived carbon stocks in soils and determine its age (radiocarbon dating) at four different location...
