In this review, we consider a traditional conceptual model of nutrient cycling in forests and
evaluate (1) assumptions and issues with existing methods for measuring and calculating …

Forest decline in the northeastern United States has been linked to the effects of acid
deposition on soil nutrients. To test this link, we added a calcium silicate mineral to a paired …

Reductions in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases are urgently needed to
avoid the most catastrophic consequences of warming. Reducing deforestation and forest …

Biogeochemical monitoring for 45 years at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in New
Hampshire has revealed multiple surprises, seeming contradictions, and unresolved …

Removals of forest biomass in the northeastern US may intensify over the coming decades
due to increased demand for renewable energy. For forests to regenerate successfully …

Ecosystem science increasingly relies on highly derived metrics to synthesize across large
datasets. However, full uncertainty associated with these metrics is seldom quantified. Our …

The growing demand for bioenergy feedstock from forest harvest residues is generating
concerns about the potential loss of site productivity through nutrient removal. We used tree …

Statistical uncertainty analyses can be used to improve the efficiency of environmental
monitoring, allowing sampling designs to maximize information gained relative to resources …

In forested ecosystems, topography and tree species contribute to spatial variability in
carbon (C) dynamics through differential rates of C uptake and storage; therefore, estimates …

Core Ideas We compared spatial vs. temporal variation in C cycle processes and drivers in a
bog. The bog was indistinguishable as a C source or sink because of high spatial variation …
