Effects of long term precipitation and nitrogen manipulation on root growth in a semi-arid grassland

Poster Number:  240 Presenter/Primary Author:  Josh Haussler Arid lands comprise approximately 40% of the Earth's land surface, and contribute 30-35% of terrestrial net primary productivity.

Climatological controls on net primary productivity in a southern Appalachian forest

Poster Number:  239 Presenter/Primary Author:  Chris Oishi Long-term climatological records from the Coweeta LTER station have shown two trends that are expected to have important influences on future net primary productivity (NPP): (1) temperature has inc

Carbon Export associated with a Frontal Region in the California Current System

Poster Number:  224 Presenter/Primary Author:  Mike Stukel Frontal regions are common in the California Current Ecoystem (CCE) and are often sites of increased upwelling, downwelling, and biological production.  Therefore, they likely play an importan
