Award Description:

TITLE: Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling in Oregon Soils :: LONG DESCR: To determine how the functional diversity of key N cycling organisms is related to the rates of their activities and how this diversity and activity is related to natural and man-caused variations in vegetation. To understand how the temporal and spatial dynamics of C turnover in soil affect, and are affected by, soil microbial communities. Understanding how carbon and nitrogen are cycled in soil is important for sustaining productivity and maintaining environmental values. Full understanding can only be achieved by learning about the relationship between the microorganisms involved in cyclingthese nutrients and the factors that control their activity. :: KEYWORDS: stable isotopes nitrification denitrification rhizosphere carbon cycle nitrogen cycle nutrient cycling soil characteristics soils soil mineralogy soil microbiology nitrogen fixing bacteria soil bacteria temporal distribution spatial distribution molecular biology gene amplification bacterial genetics bacterial physiology fatty acids dna sequences ::
