The relationships between SOM quality and decomposition across a gradient of increasing shrub abundance in the Alaskan Arctic
Poster Number: 325 Presenter/Primary Author: Jennie DeMarco Warming arctic temperatures are shifting dominant vegetation from graminoids to deciduous shrubs whose functional traits can alter the quality of soil organic matter (SOM) via litter inputs and roo
Monitoring global change in Sierra Nevada LTER platform (Spain): Preliminary results
Poster Number: 320 Presenter/Primary Author: Antonio Jesús Per... Sierra Nevada Global Change Observatory is a long term monitoring program to assess the effects of global change in Sierra Nevada LTER platform, a high mountain region (reaching 3,482 m.a.s.l.) loc
Fungal and bacterial pathways along a gradient of climate and productivity
Poster Number: 319 Presenter/Primary Author: Samantha Colby A primary distinction among soil food webs is based on fungal versus bacterial pathways of decomposition; these are expected to differ between meadows and forests.
Changes in invertebrate communities along a natural elevational climate gradient at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, New Hampshire, USA
Poster Number: 314 Presenter/Primary Author: Lynn Christenson Warmer winters associated with climate change are predicted to decrease snow cover and increase soil freezing.
The effects of extreme heat and drought on a tallgrass prairie ecosystem
Poster Number: 310 Presenter/Primary Author: David Hoover Climate extremes, such as heat waves and drought, are expected to increase in their frequency and intensity over the next century. We examined the responses of the tallgrass prairie ecosystem
