Assessing the importance of seagrass habitat restoration to “blue carbon” sequestration in the shallow coastal zone

Poster Number:  82 Presenter/Primary Author:  Jill Greiner Seagrass meadows are highly productive habitats and provide many important ecosystem services to the coastal zone, including carbon and nutrient sequestration.  Organic carbon accumulates in s

Post-clearcut dynamics of carbon, water and energy exchanges in a mid-latitude, temperate forest environment

Poster Number:  78 Presenter/Primary Author:  mvanderhoof Temperate forests store a large amount of carbon vulnerable to release from climate change, disturbance and land conversion processes.  Temperate forests also play an important role in regulat
