Poster Number: 124 Presenter/Primary Author: Mariajesus Soula In the Southwest Everglades, the movements of fishes are largely dictated by seasonal rainfall patterns.
Microbes, moisture, and metabolic activity: Is there a soil moisture threshold for microbial activity?
Poster Number: 121 Presenter/Primary Author: Sarah Placella Growing evidence suggests that climate-driven changes in precipitation regulate microbially mediated ecosystem processes, such as CO2 flux from soils to the atmosphere.
Evaluation of the Relationship between Dissolved Organic Material, Nutrients, and Algal Species in Colorado Lakes and Reservoirs
Poster Number: 107 Presenter/Primary Author: Alia Khan Previous research has suggested that production of non-humic dissolved organic matter (DOM) can be directly related to chlorophyll-a concentrations in surface waters. In recent years, increas
Responses of Reef Fish Communities to Large-Scale Habitat Perturbations
Poster Number: 59 Presenter/Primary Author: Andrew Brooks Our ability to predict how communities of coral reef fishes will change in response to habitat alteration depends strongly on understanding the functional relationships of component species with li
Survivors, not invaders, control forest development following simulated hurricane in New England
Poster Number: 57 Presenter/Primary Author: Audrey Barker Plo... Hurricanes profoundly impact New England forests every 50-100 years but few studies have evaluated mechanisms of long-term forest dynamics following major windthrows.
