Specific objectives include assessing the diversity and community structure of soil bacteria (nitrifiers and methanotrophs) in different acid depostion environments; develop a biomolecular method for determining ecosystem acid stress; and validate the PnET-BGC forest-soil-water model on field, GIS and remote sensing data then regionally apply the model.VMC.154.1154mySQLMark Bremer. 2003.
