Changes in litter chemistry during decomposition: pathways and patterns

Working Group Reports Final reports:  Final Report Decomposition of plant litter is a fundamental biogeochemical process, integral to energy and nutrient cycling and soil formation. Session:  Working Group Session 5 - Wednesday Room Assignment:  Longs Peak - Granite Pass (85)

Investigating tree species effects on plant-soil-microbial feedbacks in Alaskan boreal forest

Poster Number:  115 Presenter/Primary Author:  April Melvin In Alaskan boreal forest, fire is a common disturbance that can alter successional trajectories and plant-soil-microbial (PSM) feedbacks.

Comparison of chamber and eddy covariance CH4 fluxes using a new “open path” gas analyzer

Poster Number:  109 Presenter/Primary Author:  Terenzio Zenone Traditional measurements of CH4 fluxes are made with static chamber techniques and/or with closed-path eddy covariance (EC) systems.

Carbon balances during land conversion in early bioenergy systems

Poster Number:  108 Presenter/Primary Author:  Terenzio Zenone In this study, we established a field experiment and deployed seven eddy-covariance towers to quantify the roles of land use change and the subsequent carbon (C) balances of three

Evaluation of the Relationship between Dissolved Organic Material, Nutrients, and Algal Species in Colorado Lakes and Reservoirs

Poster Number:  107 Presenter/Primary Author:  Alia Khan Previous research has suggested that production of non-humic dissolved organic matter (DOM) can be directly related to chlorophyll-a concentrations in surface waters.  In recent years, increas
