Greenfall production by animals in the Chihuahuan Desert influences decomposition by altering litter quality and distribution

Poster Number:  19 Presenter/Primary Author:  Jane G. Smith Most leaf inputs into aboveground litter pools occur after plant resorption of leaf nutrients during senescence, thus reducing the concentration of decomposition-limiting nutrients like nitrogen (N

How does precipitation control primary production at Jornada Basin LTER?

Poster Number:  18 Presenter/Primary Author:  Jin Yao This study tested two hypotheses regarding pattern and control of aboveground net primary production (ANPP) in the Chihuahuan Desert, with emphases on seasonality and plant functional group.

Effects of interannual precipitation variability on aboveground net primary production in the Chihuahuan desert

Poster Number:  6 Presenter/Primary Author:  Laureano Gherardi Climate change will result not only in changes in the mean climate state but also in the variability of climate.
