    Interactive Effects of Vegetation Type and Topographic Position on Nitrogen Availability and Loss in a Temperate Montane Ecosystem

    Determining the fate of deposited nitrogen (N) in natural ecosystems remains a challenge. Heterogeneity of vegetation types and resulting plant–soil feedbacks interact with topo-hydrologic gradients to mediate...

    High Atmospheric Nitrate Inputs and Nitrogen Turnover in Semi-arid Urban Catchments

    The influx of atmospheric nitrogen to soils and surfaces in arid environments is of growing concern due to increased N emissions and N usage associated with urbanization. Atmospheric nitrogen inputs to the cri...

    Spatial and Temporal Variability in the Amount and Source of Dissolved Organic Carbon: Implications for Ultraviolet Exposure in Amphibian Habitats

    The amount, chemical composition, and source of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), together with in situ ultraviolet (UV-B) attenuation, were measured at 1–2 week intervals throughout the summers of 1999, 2000, a...

    Winter production of CO2 and N2O from alpine tundra: environmental controls and relationship to inter-system C and N fluxes

    Fluxes of CO2 and N2O were measured from both natural and experimentally augmented snowpacks during the winters of 1993 and 1994 on Niwot Ridge in the Colorado Front Range. Consistent snow cover insulated the so...

    Growth measurements of terrestrial microbial species by a continuous-flow technique

    A continuous nutrient flow system has been developed to measure microbial activity in soil with various concentrations of added substrate. The system consists of a thin soil layer through which substrate was a...
