9306758 Vogt This research addresses effects of wood decomposition on ecosystem processes in stream, riparian, and upslope locations in a tropical rainforest ecosystem. Manipulation of woody debris (removal and addition, as well as natural amounts of wood) will indicate the role of wood in vegetation growth, aquatic and terrestrial community structure, and nutrient cycling processes. Carbon and nutrient pools, mineralization and retention, plant growth, and community composition will be measured and compared among the treated plots. The five-year project will indicate the length of time wood continues to influence ecosystem processes. %%% Little is known about ecosystem responses to large inputs of woody debris following disturbances, especially in tropical ecosystems. Large woody debris decomposes relatively slowly and provides substrates and nutrients for a variety of organisms. Therefore, the large inputs of woody material following disturbances can influence ecosystem processes significantly over long time periods. This research will indicate the magnitude of effect of manipulated levels of woody debris in stream, riparian and upslope ecosystems in a tropical rainforest. ***

9306758 Vogt 这项研究探讨了木材分解对热带雨林生态系统中溪流、河岸和高坡地区生态系统过程的影响。对木质碎片的处理（去除和添加，以及木材的自然量）将表明木材在植被生长、水生和陆地群落结构以及养分循环过程中的作用。 将测量并比较处理过的地块中的碳和养分库、矿化和保留、植物生长和群落组成。这个为期五年的项目将表明木材继续影响生态系统过程的时间长度。 %%% 对于生态系统对干扰后大量木质碎片输入的反应知之甚少，特别是在热带生态系统中。大的木质碎片分解相对缓慢，为各种生物体提供基质和营养。 因此，干扰后木质材料的大量输入可以在很长一段时间内显着影响生态系统过程。这项研究将表明控制热带雨林溪流、河岸和高坡生态系统中木质碎片水平的影响程度。 ***
