Outlined approach to defining elevational limits of aeolian inputs to soils across the Bridger Range (climosequence), effects of varying lithologies on soil properties (lithosequence), and effects of fire on soil properties associated with the August 2012 Millie Fire (pyrosequence).
Our student group tested the effectiveness of the Bokashi composting approach, comparing carbon dioxide emissions during a 1 month laboratory incubation and 6-week field incubation of pre-consumer food waste at Montana State University. Preliminary results are presented suggesting there is little difference in decomposition dynamics between pre-consumer food waste alone (control), food waste amended with Bokashi, and food waste amended with soil.
