Greenfall production by animals in the Chihuahuan Desert influences decomposition by altering litter quality and distribution
Poster Number: 19 Presenter/Primary Author: Jane G. Smith Most leaf inputs into aboveground litter pools occur after plant resorption of leaf nutrients during senescence, thus reducing the concentration of decomposition-limiting nutrients like nitrogen (N
How does precipitation control primary production at Jornada Basin LTER?
Poster Number: 18 Presenter/Primary Author: Jin Yao This study tested two hypotheses regarding pattern and control of aboveground net primary production (ANPP) in the Chihuahuan Desert, with emphases on seasonality and plant functional group.
A modeling approach to couple leaf decomposition and nutrient dynamics in forested headwater streams
Poster Number: 16 Presenter/Primary Author: Laurence Lin We synthesized previous studies of nutrient processes in streams at Coweeta to construct a series of decomposition models for Hugh White Creek in Coweeta, a stream dominated by heterotrophic proces
The effects of hemlock removal on rodent community composition in New England forests
Poster Number: 14 Presenter/Primary Author: Allyson Degrassi Eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) is declining in abundance in New England from logging and the effects of the invasive sap-sucking hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae).
Effects of riparian forest removal on macroinvertebrate functional structure and production along tallgrass prairie streams.
Poster Number: 13 Presenter/Primary Author: Jodi Vandermyde Forest encroachment along tallgrass prairie streams is increasing, mainly due to fire suppression.
