At the 2009 Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of America, investigators of ecosystem
science and biogeochemistry gathered in a series of sessions sponsored by the National …

Biogeochemical cycling (also called nutrient cycling and elemental cycling) refers to the
generally accepted concept in ecology that essential elements are transformed, transported …

Elements move through Earth's critical zone along interconnected pathways that are strongly
influenced by fluctuations in water and energy. The biogeochemical cycling of elements is …

Ecosystem is a fundamental organizational unit of the biosphere in which biological
communities interact with their non-biological environment through energy flows and …

Ecological surprises are not that uncommon–they often emerge when we overlook the
subtle signs of cascading causes and effects from seemingly inconsequential perturbations …

This overview and synthesis paper focuses on the evolution of urban biogeochemical cycles
across time. We synthesize empirical data and review existing literature, including papers in …

The phrase “hot spots and hot moments” first entered the lexicon in 2003, following the
publication of the paper “Biogeochemical hot spots and hot moments at the interface of …

Rates and reactions of biogeochemical processes vary in space and time to produce both
hot spots and hot moments of elemental cycling. We define biogeochemical hot spots as …
