AbstractSoil respiration is a primary component of the terrestrial carbon cycle. However, predicting the response of soil respiration to climate change remains a challenge due to the complex interactions between environmental drivers, especially plant phenology, temperature, and soil moisture. In th

Soil microbial biomass can reach its annual maximum pool size beneath the winter snowpack and is known to decline abruptly following snowmelt in seasonally snow-covered ecosystems. Observed differences in winter versus summer microbial taxonomic composition also suggests that phylogenetically conser

In the headwater catchments of the Rocky Mountains, plant productivity and its dynamics are largely dependent upon water availability, which is influenced by changing snowmelt dynamics associated with climate change. Understanding and quantifying the interactions between snow, plants and soil moistu

This study investigates the variability in solute release rates from samples of shale and slate with variable lithology resulting from contact metamorphism. Mineral dissolution column experiments are used to test the hypothesis that solute release rates will vary with metamorphic grade of Mancos Sha

Plant-insect interactions are ecologically important relationships that are greatly affected by climate change. Previous research concerning an aphid species (Aphis asclepiadis) and its host plant (Ligusticum porteri) has shown that aphid abundances correlate significantly with snowmelt date in the
