DESCRIPTION:Martha is research assistant to Head of Climate Change Researc
 h at Earthwatch\, an international environmental charity.\n \n"Globally fo
 rests are a vital component of the carbon cycle\, storing large quantities
  above and below the ground.There is an increasing need to acknowledge and
  further understand the roles that forests play in combating climate chang
 e through carbon storage and flux. Forest disturbance and fragmentation ar
 e increasing globally thus it is important to investigate carbon in distur
 bed as well as primary forests. In the UK\, and across much of Europe\, ou
 r forests are fragmented due to road building\, agriculture and urbanisati
 on. How does this fragmentation influence carbon cycling in forests\, and 
 how could this be affected by predicted climate change?"\n \nFree for CUGS
