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.
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
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.
Photosynthetic and resource acquisition traits in annual and perennial cereals
Poster Number: 322 Presenter/Primary Author: Nikhil Jaikumar Perennial polycarpy and annual monocarpy are conflicting plant life history strategies with differing strategies of resource allocation.
Mechanisms of soil C storage in bioenergy cropping systems
Poster Number: 318 Presenter/Primary Author: Lisa Tiemann Soils often accrue carbon (C) when land is converted from grain based row crops such as corn to perennial bioenergy crops.
