Patterns of inorganic inputs and movements of nutrients through soils, groundwater and surface waters

Nitrogen, phosphorus and other mineral nutrients are cycled through the ecosystem by way of decay and disturbances such as fire and flood. In excessive quantities nitrogen and other nutrients can have far-reaching and harmful effects on the environment.

Effects of urban stormwater infrastructure on dissolved nutrient export from semi-arid, urban watersheds

Poster Number:  23 Presenter/Primary Author:  Rebecca Hale The effects of urbanization on downstream ecosystems, particularly due to changes in nutrient inputs and altered hydrology are well studied.

A modeling approach to couple leaf decomposition and nutrient dynamics in forested headwater streams

Poster Number:  16 Presenter/Primary Author:  Laurence Lin We synthesized previous studies of nutrient processes in streams at Coweeta to construct a series of decomposition models for Hugh White Creek in Coweeta, a stream dominated by heterotrophic proces

Soil nitrogen dynamics during snow melt in moist acidic tussock tundra soils

Poster Number:  11 Presenter/Primary Author:  Anthony Darrouzet... Soil nitrogen (N) is an important limiting nutrient in Arctic ecosystems.

Moss nutrient plasticity in desert ecosystems: a hot - cold desert comparison

Poster Number:  1 Presenter/Primary Author:  Becky Ball Desert biology live close to the physical limitations for life, constrained by low availability of water and nutrients.
