Spatio-temporal patterns of soil respiration and the age of respired carbon from high-elevation alpine tundra

Poster Number:  158 Presenter/Primary Author:  John Knowles To advance the understanding of carbon cycling in the mountains, this research characterized the spatio-temporal variability of soil respiration across a broadly representative snow-scoured alpine

Oxygen-Carbon Method for Measuring Gas Exchange Rate in Streams

Poster Number:  155 Presenter/Primary Author:  Robert Pennington Gas exchange rates between streams and the atmosphere are critically important to measurement of in-stream ecologic processes, as well as fate and transport of hazardous pollutants such as mercury

Estimating wood growth across the Hubbard Brook valley: an analysis linking imaging spectroscopy and ecosystem model PnET

Poster Number:  154 Presenter/Primary Author:  Zaixing Zhou Spatial wood growth across the Hubbard Brook valley, New Hampshire, U.S.A. was estimated by an ecosystem model PnET-II. The valley was delineated into grid cells in a 30-m resolution.

Linkages between iron supply and primary production in the Southern California Current System

Poster Number:  151 Presenter/Primary Author:  Katherine Barbeau Iron supply has been shown to be a fundamental control on the productivity of Eastern Boundary upwelling regimes, such as the coastal California Current region.

28 Years of Landsat 5 TM and external forcing data for analysis of Spartina biomass on the Central Georgia coast

Poster Number:  111 Presenter/Primary Author:  John O'Donnell The focus of this Georgia Coastal Ecosystems LTER project was to develop a standardized workflow for batch processing ~ 3 decades of Landsat TM images in order to produce vegetation indices and abo
