• Integrating aquatic metabolism and net ecosystem CO2 balance in short- and long-hydroperiod subtropical freshwater wetlands 

      Malone, Sparkle L.; Zhao, Junbin; Kominoski, John S.; Starr, Gregory; Staudhammer, Christina L.; Olivas, Paulo C.; Cummings, Justin C.; Oberbauer, Steven F. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-07-29)
      How aquatic primary productivity influences the carbon (C) sequestering capacity of wetlands is uncertain. We evaluated the magnitude and variability in aquatic C dynamics and compared them to net ecosystem CO2 exchange ...
    • Moth Outbreaks Reduce Decomposition in Subarctic Forest Soils 

      Sandén, Hans; Mayer, Mathias; Stark, Sari; Sandén, Taru; Nilsson, Lars Ola; Jepsen, Jane Uhd; Wäli, Piippa Riitta; Rewald, Boris (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Tree mortality from insect infestations can significantly reduce carbon storage in forest soils. In subarctic birch forests (Betula pubescens), ecosystem C cycling is largely affected by recurrent outbreaks of defoliating ...
