ARCHIVED CONTENT: In December 2020, the CZO program was succeeded by the Critical Zone Collaborative Network (CZ Net) ×

Multiple Disciplines

A multidisciplinary team of scientists from Idaho State University, Boise State University and USDA-ARS Northwest Watershed Research Center established Reynolds Creek Critical Zone Observatory (RC-CZO) to focus on soil carbon and the processes governing its fate. 

  • Global change biology
  • Soil science
  • Hydrology
  • Geology
  • Ecology
  • Microbiology

Research highlights

  • Intensive study sites for measuring carbon input and loss processes.
  • Long-term continuous datasets for hydrological and land surface models to predict soil carbon storage and critical zone processes governing it.
  • Intensive characterization of carbon stabilization and destabilization in soils along gradients of lithology, climate, and land use.
