Help scientists understand soil carbon dynamics in Sierra Nevada meadows and get hands on experience while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Sierra Nevada. Learn about how meadows function. Sierra Nevada meadows store substantial amounts of carbon, even more than the forests that surround them. Soil carbon is an important part of these valuable ecosystems, helping them store water and become biodiversity hot spots. Discover how soil carbon fluxes are influenced by changes in plant communities
