Does Crop Rotation Influence Soil Microbial Function?
Poster Number: 344 Presenter/Primary Author: Marshall McDaniel Crop rotations, which increase plant diversity through time, are considered key to sustainable agroecosystem management. Crop rotations have been shown to alter soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (
Population dynamics of reintroduced Gunnison’s prairie dogs in a semi-arid grassland environment
Poster Number: 342 Presenter/Primary Author: Mike Friggens Prairie dog (Cynomys spp. ) populations have declined by 98% across their range.
Iron redox cycling: unexplored mechanisms for soil organic matter decomposition
Poster Number: 341 Presenter/Primary Author: Whendee Silver Iron (Fe) oxide minerals have long been known to protect soil organic carbon (C) from microbial decomposition, especially in humid tropical soils abundant in both Fe and C.
Cover Crops Have the Greatest Influence on Belowground Ecosystem Processes Along a Gradient of Cropping System Diversity
Poster Number: 340 Presenter/Primary Author: Brendan O'Neill Row crop agriculture dominates most of the landscape of the U.S. upper mid-west, and along with constant pressure to increase production are calls to reduce inputs harmful to air, soil and water.
Nitrogen addition modulates the response of Hydrolithon onkodes to ocean acidification
Poster Number: 339 Presenter/Primary Author: Robert Carpenter A growing body of evidence suggests that continued acidification of surface waters of the ocean will have significant negative impacts on calcifying organisms and this will be particularly importan
