Community-Specific Biogeochemical Responses to Atmospheric Nitrogen Deposition in Subalpine Ecosystems

Project ID: P14AC01577 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $5,781 Total Funding: $5,781 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: Elevated anthropogenic nitrogen (N) emissions are causing higher rates of atmospheric N deposition (Ndep) that may saturate Cascade ecosystems with reactive N. Simultaneously, increasing global temperatures and altered circulation patterns generated by climate change are expected to strongly impact snow regimes in the…
