Topographical Linkages Between Nitrogen and Organic Carbon Solutes Within a Forested Watershed

森林水体中氮和有机碳溶质之间的联系对于确定自然过程和人类活动的影响来说，了解营养物质如何通过森林流域是很重要的。新技术将被用来研究碳和氮这两种重要元素的命运。这些元素的相互关系影响生态系统生产力和其他元素的循环。将在各种不同的景观类型(如旱地森林、湿地和溪流)中进行研究，这些景观类型的碳和氮循环不同。由于这些区域在美国东北部和加拿大东南部很常见，因此这些发现将得到普遍应用。研究结果可用于评估土地利用和气候变化对碳、氮循环的影响。

ABSTRACT99-83178Myron Mitchell- SUNYTOPOGRAPHICAL LINKAGES BETWEEN NITROGEN AND ORGANIC CARBON SOLUTES WITHIN A FORESTED WATERSHEDUnderstanding how nutrients move through forested watersheds is important for determining the influences of natural processes and people. New techniques will be used to study the fate of two important elements, carbon and nitrogen. Interrelationships of these elements affect ecosystem productivity and the cycling of other elements.Research will be done in a variety of landscape types (e.g., upland forests, wetlands and streams) which cycle carbon and nitrogen differently. Since these zones are common throughout the northeast United States and southeast Canada, findings will have general application. Results can be used in evaluating the effects of land usage and climatic change on carbon and nitrogen cycling.
