Abstract:
This project will investigate the impacts of agricultural land management on carbon, water, and energy cycling in the Brazilian Amazon's agricultural frontier. Specifically, it will investigate the effects of planting a cover crop during the dry intercropping period on fluxes of heat, water, and carbon, as well as the accumulation of soil carbon.
