Short summary
We wanted to understand how the coupling of water and carbon cycling is affected by landscape position and vegetation heterogeneity within a humid, topographically complex watershed in the Appalachian mountains of West Virginia. Over 3 years (2010-2012), we found that in low-rainfall years, shrubs had a strong effect on the magnitude of soil carbon fluxes but that in high-rainfall years, fluxes were constrained across the watershed. Highest fluxes occurred at below-average soil moisture.
