Stream Ecosystem Metabolism at the Virginia Coast Reserve: A Comparison of the Conventional Open Water Technique and Eddy Correlation

Poster Number:  53 Presenter/Primary Author:  Dirk Koopmans Inland waters transform or store over half of the carbon they receive, making their benthic metabolism significant to the global carbon budget.

Spatially explicit feedbacks between seagrass meadows, sediment, and light: habitat suitability for seagrass growth

Poster Number:  41 Presenter/Primary Author:  Joel Carr In shallow costal bays in which nutrient loading and riverine inputs are low, turbidity, and the consequent light environment are controlled by resuspension of bed sediments due to wind-waves and t

Hydrologic Variability across Climatically, Geologically, and Morphologically Similar Watersheds: Implications for stream ecosystems and ecological thresholds for anthropogenic change.

The “reference” stream or watershed concept is the basis for the design of many ecological studies and water quality assessments as well as paired watershed studies.  For such studies, it is s Session:  Working Group Session 5 - Wednesday Room Assignment:  Ruesch Auditorium - Dodge (50)

Quantifying Uncertainty in Ecosystem Studies

Working Group Reports Final reports:  QUEST Workshop Report Participant list:  2012 ASM Workshop Participants QUEST Yanai.pdf The calculation of pools and fluxes at ecosystem scales has advanced our understanding of water, carbon, and nutrient cycling.  However, uncertainty due to variability or error in observations Session:  Working Group Session 3 Tuesday Room Assignment:  Wind River C (100)
