Axial variation of xylem conduits in the Earth’s tallest trees
Hydraulic limitations to tree height can be mitigated by widening the conducting elements toward a tree’s base. However, size limits...
Wildfire severity reduces richness and alters composition of soil fungal communities in boreal forests of western Canada
Wildfire is the dominant disturbance in boreal forests and fire activity is increasing in these regions. Soil fungal communities are...
Taking Flux Puppy for a walk: Ecoss’ undergraduate research team develops new ecological app for measuring carbon dioxide
“Today I am taking the flux puppy for a walk at @HarvardForest to measure stem respiration,” NAU postdoctoral researcher Tim...
Ecoss graduate students win two awards

Improved yield and water storage of the wheat-maize rotation system due to double-blank row mulching during the wheat stage
Mulching techniques have been widely used in dryland regions in northern China. It is necessary to develop water-saving cultivation techniques...
Ecoss graduate student builds ‘Kraken’ to see where carbon will go in warmer streams
Ecoss graduate student Ali Martinez and a team of ecologists including her advisor Marks, Ecoss researchers Ben Koch and Zasha...
Long-term elevated CO2 shifts composition of soil microbial communities in a Californian annual grassland, reducing growth and N utilization potentials
The continuously increasing concentration of atmospheric CO2 has considerably altered ecosystem functioning. However, few studies have examined the long-term (i.e....
Reduced carbon use efficiency and increased microbial turnover with soil warming
Global soil carbon (C) stocks are expected to decline with warming, and changes in microbial processes are key to this...
Drainage enhances modern soil carbon contribution but reduces old soil carbon contribution to ecosystem respiration in tundra ecosystems
Warming temperatures are likely to accelerate permafrost thaw in the Arctic, potentially leading to the release of old carbon previously...
Limited potential of harvest index improvement to reduce methane emissions from rice paddies
Rice is a staple food for nearly half of the world's population, but rice paddies constitute a major source of...
