Creator:: Chaer, Guilherme M.
Abstract:: The objectives of this thesis were to evaluate the responses of soil microbial communities to physical and chemical disturbances, and associate these responses with soil functional stability and changes in soil quality. The first study consisted of application of heat shocks (HS) to soils with contrasting land use history to...

Creator:: McFarlane, Karis J., 1979-
Abstract:: Belowground carbon (C) storage and quality of soil organic matter (SOM) in forest soils have implications for sustainable forest management and C sequestration, but how these pools change in response to management is poorly understood. I investigated whether fertilization and competing vegetation control, applied alone or in combination early in...

Creator:: Murray, Mary K.
Abstract:: A number of researchers view farmers’ markets as an appropriate vehicle for re-embedding food markets into communities (O’Hara & Stagl, 2001, Feenstra, 2002, Lyson, 2005). Amidst astounding growth in the number of farmers’ markets in the United States in recent decades, many markets struggle and fail. Recent research suggests that...

Creator:: Thum, Nicolai
Abstract:: This thesis examines the mechanisms that couple the monthly-averaged atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) to open-ocean sea surface temperature (SST) perturbations on scales of 50-500 km. The observed positive correlation between surface wind speed anomalies and SST anomalies is successfully simulated using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. In numerical...
