The Watershed Approach in the Baltimore Ecosystem Study
Poster Number: 250 Presenter/Primary Author: Peter Groffman In the Baltimore Ecosystem Study (BES), we are conducting long-term watershed studies to provide a basis for comparison of urban ecosystems with other ecosystem types within the LTER netowrk and to
Organic matter contribution and decomposition by ectomycorrhizal fungi in response to chronic nitrogen deposition in a temperate mixed-hardwood forest
Poster Number: 248 Presenter/Primary Author: Jesse Sadowsky Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi comprise a large proportion of total soil microbial biomass, contribute belowground inputs as mycelia that may equal or surpass those of roots, and secrete enzymes that
Patterns of soil properties and respiration along an elevation gradient in the Luquillo Mountains of Northeastern Puerto Rico
Poster Number: 247 Presenter/Primary Author: Dingfang Chen As an important component in global carbon cycle, soil respiration is one of the primary paths to release carbon fixed by vegetation to the atmosphere.
Carbon allocation and soil microbes explain plant response to N deposition
Poster Number: 246 Presenter/Primary Author: Emily Farrer Nitrogen enrichment causes changes in species composition, with a few species increasing in dominance and many species declining. Despite this consistent pattern across many systems, it is st
The impact of stormwater control structures on N fluxes in a coastal watershed.
Poster Number: 244 Presenter/Primary Author: Neil Bettez Humans have significantly altered the landscape in urban areas resulting in increased volume and velocity of runoff following precipitation events.
