Ecological stoichiometry deals with the mass balance of multiple key elements [eg carbon
(C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P)] in ecological systems. This conceptual framework, largely …

Future climate projections of warming, drying, and increased weather variability indicate that
conventional agricultural and production practices within the Northern Great Plains (NGP) …

Stream Ecology: Structure and Function of Running Waters is designed to serve as a
textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and as a reference source for …

Great Plains streams are highly endangered and can serve as model systems for studying
disturbance ecology and related issues of resistance and resilience in temperate …

The heterogeneous nature of lotic habitats plays an important role in the complex ecological
and evolutionary processes that structure the microbial communities within them. Due to …

Streams and rivers regulate nitrogen transport (N) to downstream ecosystems. Rates of N
uptake can be high in streams, but controls on the variation in uptake rates of N among …

Nitrogen inputs to the Gulf of Mexico have increased during recent decades and agricultural
regions in the upper Midwest, such as those in Illinois, are a major source of N to the …

Detailed studies of stream N uptake were conducted in a prairie reach and gallery forest
reach of Kings Creek on the Konza Prairie Biological Station. Nutrient uptake rates were …

The Lotic Intersite Nitrogen eXperiment (LINX) was a coordinated study of the relationships
between North American biomes and factors governing ammonium uptake in streams. Our …

Dissolved inorganic N (DIN) and soluble reactive P (SRP) have been used by some to
indicate the trophic status of waters, and concentration ratios (DIN: SRP) to indicate nutrient …
