This doctoral dissertation improvement project will study how climate warming affects the movement of carbon dioxide from soils in boreal forests to the atmosphere. In particular, it will test whether warming affects the decomposition of decay resistant organic matter more than that of easily decomposed organic matter. This work will provide a more complete understanding of the processes by which organic carbon is sequestered in or released from boreal forest soils.Increased movement of carbon dioxide from terrestrial soils to the atmosphere in response to climate warming represents a potentially important feedback to climate change. Understanding the fate of soil carbon and how it is affected by warming temperatures is important for improving models of greenhouse gas inputs to the atmosphere.

该博士学位论文改进项目将研究气候变暖如何影响二氧化碳从北方森林的土壤到大气的运动。 特别是，它将测试变暖是否影响抗衰减的有机物的分解，而不是易于分解的有机物。 这项工作将为气候变暖响应气候变暖，二氧化碳从地面土壤到大气的流动不足，对有机碳被隔离或从北方森林土壤中隔离或释放的过程提供了更全面的了解。 了解土壤碳的命运及其如何受到温暖温度的影响对于改善大气中的温室气体输入模型很重要。
