Greenhouse Gas Balance Over Thaw-Freeze Cycles In Discontinuous Zone Permafrost, R. M. Wilson, L. Fitzhugh, G. J. Whiting, Stephen E. Frolking, M. D. Harrison, N. Dimova, W. C. Burnett, Jeff P. Chanton Mar 2017

Greenhouse Gas Balance Over Thaw-Freeze Cycles In Discontinuous Zone Permafrost, R. M. Wilson, L. Fitzhugh, G. J. Whiting, Stephen E. Frolking, M. D. Harrison, N. Dimova, W. C. Burnett, Jeff P. Chanton

All Materials

Peat in the discontinuous permafrost zone contains a globally significant reservoir of carbon that has undergone multiple permafrost-thaw cycles since the end of the mid-Holocene (~3700 years before present). Periods of thaw increase C decomposition rates which leads to the release of CO2 and CH4 to the atmosphere creating potential climate feedback. To determine the magnitude and direction of such feedback, we measured CO2 and CH4 emissions and modeled C accumulation rates and radiative fluxes from measurements of two radioactive tracers with differing lifetimes to describe the C balance of the peatland over multiple permafrost-thaw cycles since the initiation of …

The Use And Re-Use Of Unsustainable Groundwater For Irrigation: A Global Budget, Danielle S. Grogan, Dominik Wisser, Alexander A. Prusevich, Richard B. Lammers, Stephen E. Frolking Mar 2017

The Use And Re-Use Of Unsustainable Groundwater For Irrigation: A Global Budget, Danielle S. Grogan, Dominik Wisser, Alexander A. Prusevich, Richard B. Lammers, Stephen E. Frolking

All Materials

Depletion of groundwater aquifers across the globe has become a significant concern, as groundwater is an important and often unsustainable source of irrigation water. Simultaneously, the field of water resource management has seen a lively debate over the concepts and metrics used to assess the downstream re-use of agricultural runoff, with most studies focusing on surface water balances. Here, we bring these two lines of research together, recognizing that depletion of aquifers leads to large amounts of groundwater entering surface water storages and flows by way of agricultural runoff. While it is clear that groundwater users will be impacted by …

A Longer Vernal Window: The Role Of Winter Coldness And Snowpack In Driving Spring Thresholds And Lags, Alexandra R. Contosta, Alden Adolph, Denise Burchsted, Elizabeth A. Burakowski, Mark Green, David Guerra, Mary Albert, Jack E. Dibb, Mary E. Martin, William H. Mcdowell, Michael R. Routhier, Cameron P. Wake, Rachel Whitaker, Wilfred M. Wollheim

All Materials

Climate change is altering the timing and duration of the vernal window, a period that marks the end of winter and the start of the growing season when rapid transitions in ecosystem energy, water, nutrient, and carbon dynamics take place. Research on this period typically captures only a portion of the ecosystem in transition and focuses largely on the dates by which the system wakes up. Previous work has not addressed lags between transitions that represent delays in energy, water, nutrient, and carbon flows. The objectives of this study were to establish the sequence of physical and biogeochemical transitions and …

Eelgrass Distribution In The Great Bay Estuary And Piscataqua River For 2016, Seth Barker

PREP Reports & Publications

Eelgrass distribution in Great Bay, Little Bay, and the Piscataqua River Estuary were mapped from aerial photography acquired on August 5, 2016. The total area of eelgrass beds with 10% or greater cover and a polygon area equal to or greater than 100 square meters was 683.42 hectares or 1688.71 acres. Eelgrass polygons were coded for Assessment Zone location and the results reported in Table 1.The largest concentration of eelgrass was found in Great Bay with lesser amounts in the vicinity of Portsmouth Harbor. The total area of eelgrass was nearly identical to that mapped in 2013 though there were …

Liberty And Community In Marriage: Expanding On Massey’S Proposal For A Community Property Option In New Hampshire, Jo Carrillo Feb 2017

Liberty And Community In Marriage: Expanding On Massey’S Proposal For A Community Property Option In New Hampshire, Jo Carrillo

The University of New Hampshire Law Review

This article argues that intimate partners should have the right to adopt a sharing economy within marriage. Forty-one U.S. states employ a separate property regime for property acquired during marriage; of these, only two allow married couples to opt out of the separate property system and hold their assets as community property. Nine U.S. states are community property states. To encourage equal partnership in marriage, Calvin Massey proposed that New Hampshire, a separate property state, enable a community property option. This essay expands on Massey’s proposal by comparing it to three other marriage reform proposals: two based on privatization, and …

Cover Crop Root Contributions To Soil Carbon In A No-Till Corn Bioenergy Cropping System, Emily E. Austin, Kyle Wickings, Marshall D. Mcdaniel, G. Philip Robertson, A. Stuart Grandy Jan 2017

Cover Crop Root Contributions To Soil Carbon In A No-Till Corn Bioenergy Cropping System, Emily E. Austin, Kyle Wickings, Marshall D. Mcdaniel, G. Philip Robertson, A. Stuart Grandy

Faculty Publications

Crop residues are potential biofuel feedstocks, but residue removal may reduce soil carbon (C). The inclusion of a cover crop in a corn bioenergy system could provide additional biomass, mitigating the negative effects of residue removal by adding to stable soil C pools. In a no-till continuous corn bioenergy system in the northern US Corn Belt, we used 13CO2 pulse labeling to trace plant C from a winter rye (Secale cereale) cover crop into different soil C pools for 2 years following rye cover crop termination. Corn stover left as residue (30% of total stover) contributed 66, corn roots 57, …


The Evolution Of Experiential Learning: Tracing Lines Of Research In The Jee, Jayson O. Seaman, Mike Brown, John Quay Jan 2017

The Evolution Of Experiential Learning: Tracing Lines Of Research In The Jee, Jayson O. Seaman, Mike Brown, John Quay

Kinesiology

This essay introduces a collection of past articles from the Journal of Experiential Education (JEE) focused on the concept of experiential learning. It outlines the historical trajectory of the concept beginning with human relations training practices beginning in 1946, as it came to be understood as a naturally occurring psychological process and a grounding for pedagogical reforms. The eight articles included in the issue reflect the way JEE authors have contended with problems arising from the concept’s departure from its origins in practice. We suggest that experiential learning’s evolution into a general theory was accomplished by decoupling it from its …


Increased C3 Productivity In Midwestern Lawns Since 1982 Revealed By Carbon Isotopes In Amanita Thiersii, Erik A. Hobbie, Brian A. Schubert, Joseph M. Craine, Ernst Linder, Anne Pringle Jan 2017

Increased C3 Productivity In Midwestern Lawns Since 1982 Revealed By Carbon Isotopes In Amanita Thiersii, Erik A. Hobbie, Brian A. Schubert, Joseph M. Craine, Ernst Linder, Anne Pringle

Faculty Publications

How climate and rising carbon dioxide concentrations (pCO2) have influenced competition between C3 and C4 plants over the last 50 years is a critical uncertainty in climate change research. Here we used carbon isotope (δ13C) values of the saprotrophic lawn fungus Amanita thiersii to integrate the signal of C3 and C4 carbon in samples collected between 1982 and 2009 from the Midwestern USA. We then calculated 13C fractionation (Δ) to assess the balance between C3 and C4 photosynthesis as influenced by mean annual temperature (MAT), mean annual precipitation over a 30 year period (MAP‐30), and pCO2. Sporocarp Δ correlated negatively …
