1. Anthropogenic activities in prairie streams are increasing nutrient inputs and altering stream communities. Understanding the role of large consumers such as fish in regulating periphyton structure and nutritional content is necessary to predict how changing diversity will interact with nutrient enrichment to regulate stream nutrient processing and retention. 2. We characterised the importan...

The changes in land use caused by antropogenic interventions, has increased the global pool of nutrients (Nitrogen and Phosphorus) in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. This report analyzes the behavior of the main nutrient biogeochemical cycles and the consequences of its alterations. It is remarkable the enhancement of some inputs and outputs to terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and the inc...

In a review published over two decades ago I asserted that, along soil fertility gradients, plant traits change in ways that reinforce patterns of soil fertility and net primary productivity (NPP). I reevaluate this assertion in light of recent research, focusing on feedbacks to NPP operating through litter decomposition. I conclude that mechanisms emerging since my previous review might weaken...

Glossary Accounting prices Accounting or shadow prices are measures of the social opportunity cost of resource use. The accounting price of a resource is the increase in social wellbeing that would be enjoyed if a unit more of the resource was made available at no cost. Ecological functions The combinations of ecosystem component and ecosystem processes that enable ecosystems to support primary...

New federal water quality regulations regarding impaired waters and urban stormwater, alongside a growing need to reverse eutrophication of urban lakes, are creating demand to decrease nutrient export from urban landscapes, particularly lawns. We propose that Nowak et al.’s (2006) disproportionality framework could be used to target specific households likely to generate disproportionate levels...

Phytoplankton populations and communities respond to nutrient inputs on time scales from days to weeks. This short-term variability is superimposed on the long-term seasonal, annual and interannual variability in estuarine biogeochemical cycling that together regulate food web dynamics and ecosystem responses to nutrient loadings. Quantifying this short-term variability within the context of lo...

The role of litter in nutrient cycling in a Typha angustifolia dominated brackish tidal marsh was studied with a field experiment. In replicated plots, litter was either removed, replaced with plastic strips (pseudolitter), increased threefold, or left unaltered. One set of plots received fortnightly surface applications of ammonium phosphate solution at an annual rate of 65 g/m2 of N and 72 g/...
