Ecosystem Ecology

Effects of urban stormwater infrastructure on dissolved nutrient export from semi-arid, urban watersheds

Poster Number:  23 Presenter/Primary Author:  Rebecca Hale The effects of urbanization on downstream ecosystems, particularly due to changes in nutrient inputs and altered hydrology are well studied.

Greenfall production by animals in the Chihuahuan Desert influences decomposition by altering litter quality and distribution

Poster Number:  19 Presenter/Primary Author:  Jane G. Smith Most leaf inputs into aboveground litter pools occur after plant resorption of leaf nutrients during senescence, thus reducing the concentration of decomposition-limiting nutrients like nitrogen (N

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

Effects of interannual precipitation variability on aboveground net primary production in the Chihuahuan desert

Poster Number:  6 Presenter/Primary Author:  Laureano Gherardi Climate change will result not only in changes in the mean climate state but also in the variability of climate.

Spatial interactions among multiple ecosystem services in an urbanizing agricultural landscape in the Upper Midwest

Poster Number:  4 Presenter/Primary Author:  Jiangxiao Qiu Spatially explicit understanding of the delivery of multiple ecosystem services is essential to inform landscape management that attempts to sustain the benefits people derive from ecosystems.
