Persistence of mineral-associated soil organic matter: does stability matter in the context of climate change

January 19, 2024, 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm

This Week in Soil Science Seminar Series

The response of the soil organic matter pool to climate change is currently the largest uncertainty in global C cycle models. Kate Heckman’s research is focused on elucidating the molecular-to-field scale mechanisms of organic C stabilization in soils, with the goal of improving our ability to predict soil C vulnerability to climate change and discovering methods of managing our soils to preserve soil C stocks. Kate Heckman currently serves as a soil scientist with the US Forest Service, where she specializes in soil biogeochemistry with an emphasis on the application of radiocarbon to terrestrial C cycle processes.
