How do arctic shrub canopies respond to changes in the diffuse light fraction of solar radiation?
Poster Number: 192 Presenter/Primary Author: Laura Van Der Pol The aim of this study is to understand how tall (>50cm) arctic shrub canopies, such as those dominated by the shrub species Betula nana and Salix pulchra, function under differ
Climate induced shifts in the phytoplankton community biomass and community structure along the West Antarctic Peninsula
Poster Number: 186 Presenter/Primary Author: Oscar Schofield The West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is experiencing some of the most rapid climate change on Earth as evidenced by the fastest winter warming on the planet, dramatic declines in sea ice, and documen
Implications of diel fluctuations in streamflow on stream metabolism
Poster Number: 180 Presenter/Primary Author: Alba Argerich Stream metabolic activity (e.g., respiration, primary production, or nutrient uptake) is highly influenced by hydrologic conditions, not only because they determine the supply rate of reactive solu
