Phenology of belowground carbon allocation in a mid-latitude forest

Poster Number:  160 Presenter/Primary Author:  Rose Abramoff Annual forest productivity and carbon storage are affected by the amount and timing of carbon allocated belowground. Despite clear relationships between some climate factors (e.g.

Variation in carbon cycling impacts of an invasive grass (Microstegium vimineum) across an urban-rural gradient in Southern Appalachian forests

Poster Number:  157 Presenter/Primary Author:  Matt Craig Although there is broad recognition that invasive species can alter ecosystem processes, little is known about how other factors influence such impacts.

Belowground Biogeochemical Processes Across the LTER Network

Belowground plant and microbial processes exert major control over the Earth’s biogeochemical cycles and climate.  While fundamentally important they are treated in a rudimentary manner at bes Session:  Working Group Session 5 - Wednesday Room Assignment:  Ruesch Auditorium - Billhiemer (50)
