Isotopic Analysis Of Sporocarp Protein And Structural Material Improves Resolution Of Fungal Carbon Sources, Janet Chen, Kirsten S. Hofmockel, Erik A. Hobbie

Faculty Publications

Fungal acquisition of resources is difficult to assess in the field. To determine whether fungi received carbon from recent plant photosynthate, litter or soil-derived organic (C:N bonded) nitrogen, we examined differences in δ13C among bulk tissue, structural carbon, and protein extracts of sporocarps of three fungal types: saprotrophic fungi, fungi with hydrophobic ectomycorrhizae, or fungi with hydrophilic ectomycorrhizae. Sporocarps were collected from experimental plots of the Duke Free-air CO2 enrichment experiment during and after CO2 enrichment. The differential 13C labeling of ecosystem pools in CO2 enrichment experiments was tracked into fungi and provided novel insights into organic nitrogen use. Specifically, …

Winter Soil Respiration In A Humid Temperate Forest: The Roles Of Moisture, Temperature, And Snowpack, Alexandra R. Contosta, Elizabeth A. Burakowski, Ruth K. Varner, Serita D. Frey Dec 2016

Winter Soil Respiration In A Humid Temperate Forest: The Roles Of Moisture, Temperature, And Snowpack, Alexandra R. Contosta, Elizabeth A. Burakowski, Ruth K. Varner, Serita D. Frey

Earth Systems Research Center

Winter soil respiration at midlatitudes can comprise a substantial portion of annual ecosystem carbon loss. However, winter soil carbon dynamics in these areas, which are often characterized by shallow snow cover, are poorly understood due to infrequent sampling at the soil surface. Our objectives were to continuously measure winter CO2 flux from soils and the overlying snowpack while also monitoring drivers of winter soil respiration in a humid temperate forest. We show that the relative roles of soil temperature and moisture in driving winter CO2 flux differed within a single soil-to-snow profile. Surface soil temperatures had a strong, positive influence …

Drought Events And Their Effects On Vegetation Productivity In China, Li Zhang, Jingfeng Xiao, Yu Zhou, Yi Zheng, Jing Li, Han Xiao Dec 2016

Drought Events And Their Effects On Vegetation Productivity In China, Li Zhang, Jingfeng Xiao, Yu Zhou, Yi Zheng, Jing Li, Han Xiao

Earth Systems Research Center

Many parts of the world have experienced frequent and severe droughts during the last few decades. Most previous studies examined the effects of specific drought events on vegetation productivity. In this study, we characterized the drought events in China from 1982 to 2012 and assessed their effects on vegetation productivity inferred from satellite data. We first assessed the occurrence, spatial extent, frequency, and severity of drought using the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI). We then examined the impacts of droughts on China's terrestrial ecosystems using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). During the period 1982–2012, China's land area (%) experiencing …
