Pattern and control of primary production
Plant growth in most ecosystems forms the base or “primary” component of the food web. The amount and type of plant growth in an ecosystem helps to determine the amount and kind of animals (or “secondary” productivity) that can survive there.
Carbon balances during land conversion in early bioenergy systems
Poster Number: 108 Presenter/Primary Author: Terenzio Zenone In this study, we established a field experiment and deployed seven eddy-covariance towers to quantify the roles of land use change and the subsequent carbon (C) balances of three
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
Sources of phytoplankton to the inner continental shelf in the Santa Barbara Channel inferred from cross-shelf gradients in biological, physical and chemical parameters
Poster Number: 105 Presenter/Primary Author: Mark Brzezinski Phytoplankton are a major food resource for filter feeding organisms occupying intertidal and subtidal habitats of the inner continental shelf. In the Santa Barbara Channel (SBC) the continen
Soil Water and Temperature Explain Canopy Phenology and Greenness on the Shortgrass Steppe
Poster Number: 105 Presenter/Primary Author: Lynn Moore Primary production in the shortgrass steppe is positively related to precipitation, but the influence of temperature is dependent on precipitation and the combined effects determine water availabil
Multilingual and Thesaurus-Based Search Tools for ILTER Data
Poster Number: 101 Presenter/Primary Author: Kristin Vanderbilt Data in ILTER data archives are only useful if it can be found by researchers. At the international-level the challenge of searching datasets is compounded by the need to deal with multiple l
