Overview:\u00a0<\/strong>Our lab uses multiple methods to understand variation in below-ground processes in response to tree diversity. We have examined C flux below ground using scanner-based minirhizotron technology (CI-600), IRGA technology, estimation of total below-ground carbon allocation, root excavation, and (in collaboration with other labs) nitrogen mineralization and microbial community techniques. Our work has focused on three systems: 1) the inter-mountain west cottonwood hybrid system between native\u00a0Populus<\/em>\u00a0trees\u00a0P. angustifolia<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0P. fremontii<\/em>\u00a0(since 2001).\u00a0<\/strong>More about the Cottonwood System<\/a>.\u00a0<\/a>2) second-growth temperate rainforests on the Evergreen College reserve (minirhizotron and IRGA work since 2006).\u00a0More about the EEON project<\/a>\u00a03) East Cascades ponderosa pine systems (Sinlahekin valley, WA – since 2008).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Root Scanner: <\/strong>The CI-600\u00a0 is a scanner based technology which takes large underground images (21.59 x 19.56 cm) in buried 6.99 cm diam. acrylic tubes. For more information please see www.cid-inc.com<\/a>. Here are some examples at different image resolutions: Here are some examples at different image resolutions:<\/p>\n
