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

森林流域中氮和有机碳溶质之间的太阳地形联系了解养分如何在森林流域中移动对于确定自然过程和人类的影响是重要的。新技术将用于研究两种重要元素——碳和氮的命运。这些要素的相互关系影响着生态系统的生产力和其他要素的循环。研究将在不同的景观类型中进行（例如，高地森林、湿地和溪流），它们的碳和氮循环方式不同。由于这些区域在美国东北部和加拿大东南部都很常见，因此研究结果将具有普遍的应用价值。研究结果可用于评价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.
