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.
