Geomorphic Controls over Nutrient Cycling in Playa Wetlands
Poster Number: 40 Presenter/Primary Author: Owen McKenna Playas, which are ephemeral desert wetlands are periodically flooded and are an integral piece of arid ecosystems.
Thresholds of change in decomposition rates along a dune/swale transect on Virginia’s barrier islands
Poster Number: 31 Presenter/Primary Author: Dominic Graziani Aboveground and belowground decomposition rates were determined along a barrier island dune/swale transect located on the Virginia Coast Reserve-Long Term Ecological Research Site using litterbags
Mass Loss: A Quantitative Synthesis Of Leaf Decomposition In Streams And Rivers
Poster Number: 29 Presenter/Primary Author: Jennifer Follstad... Freshwater ecosystems play a significant role in the global carbon (C) cycle, emitting roughly 1.2 Pg C y-1 to the atmosphere.
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.
Greenfall production by animals in the Chihuahuan Desert influences decomposition by altering litter quality and distribution
Poster Number: 19 Presenter/Primary Author: Jane G. Smith Most leaf inputs into aboveground litter pools occur after plant resorption of leaf nutrients during senescence, thus reducing the concentration of decomposition-limiting nutrients like nitrogen (N
