Nitrogen cycling “hotspots”: An approach for watershed scale assessments

Poster Number:  28 Presenter/Primary Author:  Peter Baas The high level of spatial and temporal heterogeneity in nitrogen cycling processes hinders our ability to develop an ecosystem-wide understanding of this cycle.

Effects of urban stormwater infrastructure on dissolved nutrient export from semi-arid, urban watersheds

Poster Number:  23 Presenter/Primary Author:  Rebecca Hale The effects of urbanization on downstream ecosystems, particularly due to changes in nutrient inputs and altered hydrology are well studied.

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
