Patterns of carbon storage within a mature northern highbush blueberry production system

Creator:

Nemeth, Denise Alexandra

Abstract:

The objectives of this study were to: 1) determine how organic matter (incorporated vs. surface mulch) and nitrogen fertilization rate impact northern highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) plant biomass, carbon accumulation, plant losses and allocation, and mycorrhizal infection in mature plants, and 2) determine the magnitude of carbon fluxes (carbon...

The Effects of Phytoplankton Prey Species and Nutrient Limitation on Microzooplankton

Creator:

McBeain, Kelsey Ann

Abstract:

Phytoplankton and microzooplankton comprise the base and the first link of the marine food web, respectively. These microbes are key drivers of marine carbon and nutrient cycles. Phytoplankton convert atmospheric CO₂ into organic carbon, and microzooplankton consume phytoplankton, packaging phytoplankton carbon into particulate forms that have a variety of fates:...
