Paper Summary

Boreal soil in Interior Alaska contains thick layers of organic soil with varying properties. A study analyzed over 3000 samples to understand how soil drainage and stand age affect carbon and nitrogen levels. The findings can help fill in missing data, start models, and check model accuracy.
