Net Ecosystem Exchange, Soil Respiration, and the Age of Respired Carbon from High-Elevation Alpine Tundra

Poster Number:  178 Presenter/Primary Author:  John Knowles Carbon dioxide (CO2) is increasing in the contemporary atmosphere as a result of an imbalance between anthropogenic and natural CO2 emissions and biospheric and oceanic CO

Hydrochemical response of alpine watersheds to snowmelt.

Poster Number:  176 Presenter/Primary Author:  Danielle Perrot This study explores the stream hydrochemical response to snowmelt in alpine environments in the context of variable source area (VSA) dynamics and nitrate.

Climate Change, Permafrost Melt, and Increased Nitrate Export, Green Lakes Valley, Colorado

Poster Number:  171 Presenter/Primary Author:  Mark Williams Alpine ecosystems are particularly susceptible to disturbance due to their short growing seasons, sparse vegetation, thin soils, and a harsh climate.
