Water-nitrogen effects on fine-root production in a Chihuahuan Desert grassland
Poster Number: 182 Presenter/Primary Author: Josh Haussler Arid lands comprise approximately 40% of the Earth's land surface, and contribute 30-35% of the terrestrial net primary productivity.
Tallgrass prairie recovery following persistent grazing depends on response measured
Poster Number: 168 Presenter/Primary Author: Ben VanderWeide The dynamics of tallgrass prairie plant communities have historically been driven by the interacting effects of grazing by large ungulate herbivores, frequent fire, and a variable mid-continental c
Phenology of belowground carbon allocation in a mid-latitude forest
Poster Number: 160 Presenter/Primary Author: Rose Abramoff Annual forest productivity and carbon storage are affected by the amount and timing of carbon allocated belowground. Despite clear relationships between some climate factors (e.g.
Grass-shrub interactions in a Chihuahuan Desert ecosystem: can vegetation structure predict state-transitions?
Poster Number: 154 Presenter/Primary Author: Nate Pierce State transition from perennial grassland to woody plant domination is synonymous with land degradation and desertification in many arid and semiarid ecosystems.
