Management Intensity and Litter Chemistry Interact to Determine Microarthropod Succession Patterns during Decomposition
Poster Number: 338 Presenter/Primary Author: Kyle Wickings Microarthropods play an important role in plant litter decomposition, and variation in the structure of their communities may lead to considerable variation in decomposition dynamics. As a re
Regional Consequences of Changing Climate-Disturbance Interactions for the Resilience of Alaska's Boreal Forest
Poster Number: 337 Presenter/Primary Author: Roger Ruess Rapid environmental change in interior Alaska over the past century has altered the interrelationships among physical, biological and social drivers of the regional system.
Life in Brown Waters: Aquatic Bacteria Respond to Increased Terrestrial Carbon Loading
Poster Number: 336 Presenter/Primary Author: Mario Muscarella Bacteria are vital for the functioning of natural and managed ecosystems due to their role in biogeochemical processes; however, it is unclear how bacteria will respond to environmental changes.
Evidence for species-specific nutrient limitation of growth efficiency in northern hardwoods
Poster Number: 335 Presenter/Primary Author: Shinjini Goswami Nutrient co-limitation of NPP has been shown in some temperate forests by the additive or synergistic productivity response to nitrogen and phosphorus.
Response of rangeland grasshopper communities to cattle and prairie dog grazing
Poster Number: 333 Presenter/Primary Author: Sean Hauser Novel rangeland management strategies seek to benefit ecosystem services and biodiversity in semiarid grasslands by manipulating the distributions and densities of herbivorous ecosystem engineers,
