EFFECTS OF SOIL TRANSPORT PROCESSES ON ORGANIC CARBON STORAGE IN FORESTED HILLSLOPE SOILS

This study examines how coupled geomorphic and biologic processes influence the potential for hillslope soils to store organic carbon. A mass-balance model of soil organic carbon on hillslopes is developed by combining soil transport with biologic carbon production and respiration. The model is comp...
