Patterns of macrophyte wrack deposition on sandy beaches of the Pacific Northwest coast, U.S.A.

Creator:

Reimer, Jessica N.

Abstract:

Dislodged macroalgae and seagrasses, also known as marine wrack, frequently wash into coastal ecosystems from the ocean and are potentially important ecological resources for biological communities. These!nutrient and organic matter subsidies may be especially important on sandy beaches, where little in situ primary productivity exists for higher trophic levels. To...

Functional profiles of soil microbial communities in second-growth Douglas-fir forests of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:

McGinnis, Megan L.

Abstract:

Forests are one of the largest repositories of terrestrial C. Understanding factors that drive organic matter transformations and nutrient efflux from these systems is therefore highly important. Temperate forests are of particular significance due to the large fraction of C that is stored below ground in the soil. Characterizing nutrient...
