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.
Is the missing nitrogen source (or sink) at Hubbard Brook statistically significant? Quantifying Uncertainty in Ecosystem Studies (QUEST)
Poster Number: 306 Presenter/Primary Author: Ruth Yanai Nutrient budgets for forested ecosystems have rarely included error analysis, making it difficult to establish the significance of the results. At the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, the N
Nitrous Oxide (N2O) production by Rhizosphere fungi from Nitrogen fertilized grasslands
Poster Number: 304 Presenter/Primary Author: Sara Lopez The use of nitrogen (N) fertilizers has created international concern as denitrification of fertilizer-derived nitrate could result in higher rates of N2O release to the atmosphere.
Beyond beach width - integrating ecological zones and function of sandy beach ecosystems
Poster Number: 302 Presenter/Primary Author: Jenifer Dugan Sandy beaches receive large subsidies of drift kelp and macrophytes from kelp forests. Rapid processing of this macroalgal wrack by intertidal invertebrates (shredders) and its subsequent dec
Physical and biogeochemical patterns in a saltmarsh/river system (Duplin River, GA)
Poster Number: 300 Presenter/Primary Author: Charles Schutte Salt marshes are among the most productive habitats on Earth, and constitute a critical interface between the land and the sea.
Influence of stoichiometry and suburbanization on in-stream uptake of NH4 and PO4 in headwater, New England streams
Poster Number: 294 Presenter/Primary Author: Nat Morse The physical, chemical and biological impacts of suburban land use change affect ecosystem structure and functions in headwater streams.
