Density fractionation and 13C reveal changes in soil carbon following woody encroachment in a desert ecosystem
Poster Number: 58 Presenter/Primary Author: Kate Lajtha Woody encroachment has dramatically changed land cover patterns in arid and semiarid systems (drylands) worldwide over the past 150 years.
Long-term soil water dynamics across a desert basin: Broad-scale climatic drivers and local heterogeneity
Poster Number: 49 Presenter/Primary Author: Michael Duniway In arid and semiarid ecosystems, plant community composition and production is primarily limited by soil water availability. Soil profile development and soil-vegetation feedbacks can influen
