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...

Estimated Ultraviolet Radiation Doses in Wetlands in Six National Parks
Ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B, 280–320-nm wavelengths) doses were estimated for 1024 wetlands in six national parks: Acadia (Acadia), Glacier (Glacier), Great Smoky Mountains (Smoky), Olympic (Olympic), Rocky ...

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...

A new automated technique for measuring respiration in soil samples
An automated 36 place valve to provide continuous soil respiration measurements was constructed. The valve is fully computer controlled and can sample and purge the soil atmosphere as frequently as every 75 mi...
