Pattern and control of organic matter accumulation in surface layers and sediments
The entire ecosystem relies on the recycling of organic matter (and the nutrients it contains), including dead plants, animals, and other organisms. Decomposition of organic matter and its movement through the ecosystem is an important component of the food web.
Separate Effects of Flooding and Anoxia on Soil Biogeochemistry and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Poster Number: 229 Presenter/Primary Author: Gavin McNicol Soils are large sources of atmospheric greenhouse gases, and their magnitude and composition is strongly controlled by soil redox conditions.
Low-level nitrogen and phosphorus addition drives hypolimnetic oxygen drawdown in deep Arctic Lakes
Poster Number: 227 Presenter/Primary Author: William Daniels Increased nutrient transport from the landscape to freshwater ecosystems is likely a secondary effect of global change in the Arctic (Hobbie 1999). Long-term, whole-lake fertilization experim
Soil metatranscriptomics of a temperate forest under increased nitrogen deposition; expression of transcripts encoding lignocellulolytic enzymes
Poster Number: 219 Presenter/Primary Author: Linda Van Diepen Fungi are ubiquitous in terrestrial ecosystems and play an important role in biogeochemical cycling because of their function as litter decomposers.
The Tulenapa Forest Dynamics Site: A new ILTER initiative within the Chocó-Darién Biodiversity Hotspot (Urabá, Colombian Caribbean)
Poster Number: 215 Presenter/Primary Author: Juan Blanco No ILTER site exists in Colombia, and only two Large Forest Dynamics Plots (LFDP) have been formally associated to the Center for Tropical Forest Science (CTFS), thus urging for the establishment o
How do Middle School Students Make Decisions about Socioscientific Issues related to Water, Carbon and Biodiversity?
Poster Number: 214 Presenter/Primary Author: Katherine Emery This study investigates how middle school students make hypothetical purchasing, consuming, and voting decisions about water, carbon and biodiversity issues, a critical component of environmental l
