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 fluxes and pelagic ecosystem dynamics around two western Antarctic Peninsula Adélie penguin colonies: an inverse model approach.
Poster Number: 71 Presenter/Primary Author: Sevrine Sailley Using Palmer LTER data from annual summer sampling cruises, a food-web inverse model for the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) pelagic food web was constrained, and model solutions were generated f
Drivers, dynamics and consequences of non-linear change in coastal barrier systems
Poster Number: 69 Presenter/Primary Author: Karen McGlathery The Virginia Coast Reserve (VCR) is a heterogeneous landscape comprising mainland watersheds, tidal marshes, mudflats, shallow coastal bays, and barrier islands.
Microbial Ecology of the WAP Continental Shelf Region
Poster Number: 68 Presenter/Primary Author: Hugh Ducklow We present results from a large data set (N=5427 individual measurements at 449 stations, 2003-2012) on bacterial abundance and production and related hydrographic properties collected on ten, regi
Sea Ice and Plankton Ecology at Palmer Station
Poster Number: 67 Presenter/Primary Author: Hugh Ducklow One of the tenets of polar oceanography is the dependence of phytoplankton blooms on sea ice retreat and subsequent water column stratification.
Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (HBR)
Poster Number: 65 Presenter/Primary Author: Charles Driscoll The overall goal of the HBR-LTER program is to improve understanding of the response of Northern Forest ecosystems to natural and anthropogenic disturbances.
