A new five-year partnership between Washington State University Vancouver and the U.S. Forest Service will give graduate and undergraduate students the opportunity to study wood and soil alongside professors and government scientists.

The partnership will establish labs to study the relationship between soils, the local climate and the trees supported by the soil using stable isotope and trace element analysis.
