Research - Objective 4
Watershed Integration of Erosion-Driven Carbon Sequestration
Whole watershed calculations of carbon complexation rate. Requires:
• hillslope to colluvium erosion flux data (Obj 2)
• alluvial sedimentation (Obj. 3)
• erosion sources and %OC values (Obj. 2&3)
Whole watershed calculation of carbon sequestration rate. Requires:
• Stream metabolism (P/R) measurements
• Erosion-induced destabilization of soil aggregates
Whole watershed estimates of sediment fluxes, source water contributions, riparian zone dynamics.
• Implementation of PIHM watershed model.
Objective 4 team members include: Denis Newbold (lead), Anthony Aufdenkampe, George Hornberger, Yi Mei, Luc Claessens
