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

Poster Number: 238 Presenter/Primary Author: Catherine Keske This study evaluates visitors’ stated willingness to pay (WTP) to recreate at Colorado “Fourteeners”, peaks that rise above higher than 14,000 feet.
Understanding variation in zooplankton communities among alpine kettle ponds within the Niwot Ridge LTER
Poster Number: 231 Presenter/Primary Author: Courtney Currier Variation in zooplankton assemblages may reflect large-scale shifts in aquatic communities following changes to the biotic and abiotic environment.
Unraveling the impact of climate on groundwater storage, hydrochemistry, and residence time in the high-elevation catchments of the Niwot Ridge LTER site, Colorado
Poster Number: 188 Presenter/Primary Author: Morgan Zeliff Groundwater storage, hydrochemistry and residence time are all known to vary widely depending on hydrogeologic conditions.
The role of dust on snow and other aeolian inputs in biogeochemical cycling in barren, alpine catchments
Poster Number: 185 Presenter/Primary Author: Natalie Mladenov Many alpine areas are experiencing deglaciation and biogeochemical changes driven by temperature rise and changes in atmospheric deposition.
