Soil biogeochemical processes in hydropedologic units in a northern hardwood forest
Poster Number: 258 Presenter/Primary Author: Peter Groffman As part of a hydropedologic study of a forested catchment in Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (New Hampshire, USA), we investigated the connections between hydropedologic units and soil biogeochem
Ecological Homogenization of Urban America
Poster Number: 249 Presenter/Primary Author: Peter Groffman Urban, suburban and exurban ecosystems are important and increasing in the U.S. An apparent, but functionally untested result of urban land use change is homogenization across cities, where n
Organic matter contribution and decomposition by ectomycorrhizal fungi in response to chronic nitrogen deposition in a temperate mixed-hardwood forest
Poster Number: 248 Presenter/Primary Author: Jesse Sadowsky Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi comprise a large proportion of total soil microbial biomass, contribute belowground inputs as mycelia that may equal or surpass those of roots, and secrete enzymes that
Temperate Forest Soils Sequester as much Carbon as Trees in Response to Nitrogen Deposition
Poster Number: 220 Presenter/Primary Author: Serita Frey The terrestrial biosphere sequesters up to a third of annual anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, offsetting a substantial portion of greenhouse gas forcing of the climate system. While a
Soil metatranscriptomics of a temperate forest under increased nitrogen deposition; expression of transcripts encoding lignocellulolytic enzymes
Poster Number: 219 Presenter/Primary Author: Linda Van Diepen Fungi are ubiquitous in terrestrial ecosystems and play an important role in biogeochemical cycling because of their function as litter decomposers.
