Enhancing elemental analysis capabilities for organic substances at UW–Platteville
Baxter’s project will use an updated carbon and nitrogen analyzer to better understand the benefits of carbon and nitrogen in soil, mature, compost, and biochar. This will expand UW–Platteville’s research and teaching efforts.
