Poster Number: 36 Presenter/Primary Author: Alia Al-Haj Restoration of eelgrass (Zostera marina) has been successful in the Virginia coastal bays, where >17 km2 of eelgrass has been restored since 2001.
Mass Loss: A Quantitative Synthesis Of Leaf Decomposition In Streams And Rivers
Poster Number: 29 Presenter/Primary Author: Jennifer Follstad... Freshwater ecosystems play a significant role in the global carbon (C) cycle, emitting roughly 1.2 Pg C y-1 to the atmosphere.
Identifying alternative indicators for the detection of abrupt transitions in ecosystems: a consideration of time scale and community parameters
Working Group Reports Final reports: 2012 LTER ASM workshop report_final.pdf As climate change continues to accelerate, many ecosystems are poised for frequent abrupt and irreversible transitions (Millenium Ecosystem Assessment, 2005).

Scale, Consumers and Lotic Ecosystem Rates (SCALER)
Poster Number: 25 Presenter/Primary Author: Janine Rueegg A key aim of SCALER is to allow extrapolation of typical experiments in streams to scales relevant to use or protection of the environment (i.e.
A modeling approach to couple leaf decomposition and nutrient dynamics in forested headwater streams
Poster Number: 16 Presenter/Primary Author: Laurence Lin We synthesized previous studies of nutrient processes in streams at Coweeta to construct a series of decomposition models for Hugh White Creek in Coweeta, a stream dominated by heterotrophic proces
