Journal ArticleDOI
Biogeochemical Hot Spots and Hot Moments at the Interface of Terrestrial and Aquatic Ecosystems
Michael E. McClain,Elizabeth W. Boyer,C. Lisa Dent,Sarah E. Gergel,Nancy B. Grimm,Peter M. Groffman,Stephen C. Hart,Judson W. Harvey,Carol A. Johnston,Emilio Mayorga,William H. McDowell,Gilles Pinay +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define biogeochemical hot spots as patches that show disproportionately high reaction rates relative to the surrounding matrix, whereas hot moments occur when episodic hydrological flowpaths reactivate and/or mobilize accumulated reactants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global-Scale Similarities in Nitrogen Release Patterns During Long-Term Decomposition
William J. Parton,Whendee L. Silver,Ingrid C. Burke,Leo Grassens,Mark E. Harmon,William S. Currie,Jennifer Y. King,E. Carol Adair,Leslie A. Brandt,Stephen C. Hart,Becky Fasth +10 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that fundamental constraints on decomposer physiologies lead to predictable global-scale patterns in net N release during decomposition.
Journal ArticleDOI
A framework for community and ecosystem genetics: from genes to ecosystems
Thomas G. Whitham,Joseph K. Bailey,Joseph K. Bailey,Jennifer A. Schweitzer,Jennifer A. Schweitzer,Stephen M. Shuster,Randy K. Bangert,Carri J. LeRoy,Carri J. LeRoy,Eric V. Lonsdorf,Eric V. Lonsdorf,G. J. Allan,Stephen P. DiFazio,Brad M. Potts,Dylan G. Fischer,Catherine A. Gehring,Richard L. Lindroth,Jane C. Marks,Stephen C. Hart,Gina M. Wimp,Stuart C. Wooley +20 more
TL;DR: This framework could allow us to understand, for the first time, the genetic basis of ecosystem processes, and the effect of such phenomena as climate change and introduced transgenic organisms on entire communities.
Book ChapterDOI
Nitrogen Mineralization, Immobilization, and Nitrification
TL;DR: The biogeochemical cycling of N in ecosystems can be divided into an external and an internal N cycle as mentioned in this paper, and the internal cycle consists of those processes that convert N from one chemical form to another or transfer N between ecosystem pools.
Journal ArticleDOI
Competition for nitrogen between plants and soil microorganisms
Jason P. Kaye,Stephen C. Hart +1 more
TL;DR: A new view of competitive interactions between plants and soil microorganisms is necessary in ecosystem where plant uptake of organic nitrogen is observed, because past research has focused on competition for inorganic nitrogen.
