    Soil texture and environmental conditions influence the biogeochemical responses of soils to drought and flooding

    Climate change is intensifying the global water cycle, with increased frequency of drought and flood. Water is an important driver of soil carbon dynamics, and it is crucial to understand how moisture disturba...

    Soil Nitrogen and Mercury Dynamics Seven Decades After a Fire Disturbance: a Case Study at Acadia National Park

    Forest soils (mainly soil organic carbon) play an important role in the retention of nitrogen and mercury, and loss of the forest floor during wildfires can stimulate N and Hg losses. In this paper, we investi...
