- Abstract:
- A dynamic, 14C-based, model of organic matter in soil and water will be applied to two moorland sites in the uplands of northern England. This will permit the determination of the sizes and turnover times of the C pools from which stream water organic carbon is derived. Contents in the soil of total organic C and its humic fractions will be determined, along with stream water concentrations of dissolved and particulate organic carbon. Parallel measurements of 14C will be made. These data will be used to parameterise the model, which will then be used to explore the consequences of environmental change (soil warming, drought and acidification reversal) on soil carbon pools, and stream water organic carbon concentrations and fluxes.
