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.

Interaction of Land Use or Landscape Position and Microhabitat on Urban Stormwater: Integrating Research and Education in Citizen Science

Poster Number:  212 Presenter/Primary Author:  Robert Bohanan Basins, especially small, shallow ponds are a common and conspicuous feature of many landscapes. Yet, relatively little is known about their ecology.

Sediment Source Ascription of Forest Roads in the Upper Little Tennessee River Basin

Poster Number:  211 Presenter/Primary Author:  Seth Younger Geochemical fingerprinting and the Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) were used to estimate sediment production for catchments with, and without unpaved roads in the Up

Nutrient effects on Spartina patens decomposition dynamics in a New England salt marsh

Poster Number:  206 Presenter/Primary Author:  Meghan Short Organic matter decomposition is a crucial process in salt marshes, determining their status as carbon sinks or sources and affecting their ability to maintain elevation with sea level.

Impacts of N fertilization on tidal creek N cycling: Denitrification vs. DNRA

Poster Number:  199 Presenter/Primary Author:  Amanda Vieillard Salt marshes are critical ecosystems for removing reactive nitrogen (N) through denitrification.  We examined the influence of long-term fertilization on N transformation and removal in a salt

Effects of Long-term Nitrogen Fertilization and Annual Burning on Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics in a Tallgrass Prairie

Poster Number:  191 Presenter/Primary Author:  Michael Carson Anthropogenic activities have altered virtually all ecosystems in numerous ways, often affecting carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics on local, regional and global scales.
