Aber J, Melillo J, Nadelhoffer K, McClaugherty C, Pastor J
Oecologia . 2017 Mar; 66(3):317-321. PMID: 28310856
Two methods of estimating fine root production and turnover are compared for 13 forest ecosystems exhibiting a wide range in form (NH vs. NO) and quantity of available nitrogen. The...

Naiman R, Melillo J
Oecologia . 2017 Mar; 62(2):150-155. PMID: 28310707
Beaver (Castor canadensis) influence stream ecosystems through their wood cutting and dam building activities. To quantify this influence we have used measured rates of nitrogen dynamics to construct a nitrogen...

Melillo J, Naiman R, Aber J, Eshleman K
Oecologia . 2017 Mar; 58(3):281-285. PMID: 28310323
Woody materials decayed more rapidly in a first order stream than in larger streams in eastern Quebec, Canada. The rate of annual mass loss (k) was highest (k=1.20) for alder...

Pan Y, Melillo J, McGuire A, Kicklighter D, Pitelka L, Hibbard K, et al.
Oecologia . 2017 Mar; 114(3):389-404. PMID: 28307783
Although there is a great deal of information concerning responses to increases in atmospheric CO at the tissue and plant levels, there are substantially fewer studies that have investigated ecosystem-level...

Neill C, Piccolo M, Cerri C, Steudler P, Melillo J, Brito M
Oecologia . 2017 Mar; 110(2):243-252. PMID: 28307432
Previous studies of the effect of tropical forest conversion to cattle pasture on soil N dynamics showed that rates of net N mineralization and net nitrification were lower in pastures...

Neill C, Fry B, Melillo J, Steudler P, Moraes J, Cerri C
Oecologia . 2017 Mar; 107(1):113-119. PMID: 28307198
The clearing of tropical forest for pasture leads to important changes in soil organic carbon (C) stocks and cycling patterns. We used the naturally occurring distribution ofC in soil organic...

Downs M, Nadelhoffer K, Melillo J, Aber J
Oecologia . 2017 Mar; 105(2):141-150. PMID: 28307075
Effects of chronic HNO and HSO additions on decomposition of senesced birch leaf, beech leaf, spruce needle, and wood chip litters were examined. Litters were incubated for up to 4...

Nadelhoffer K, Downs M, Fry B, Aber J, Magill A, Melillo J
Oecologia . 2017 Mar; 103(3):292-301. PMID: 28306822
We followed the movements of N-labelled nitrate additions into biomass and soil pools of experimental plots (15×15 m each) in a mid-successional beech-maple-birch-spruce forest in order to identify sinks for...

Carey J, Tang J, Templer P, Kroeger K, Crowther T, Burton A, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2016 Nov; 113(48):13797-13802. PMID: 27849609
The respiratory release of carbon dioxide (CO) from soil is a major yet poorly understood flux in the global carbon cycle. Climatic warming is hypothesized to increase rates of soil...

Pold G, Billings A, Blanchard J, Burkhardt D, Frey S, Melillo J, et al.
Appl Environ Microbiol . 2016 Sep; 82(22):6518-6530. PMID: 27590813
Importance: The massive carbon stocks currently held in soils have been built up over millennia, and while numerous lines of evidence indicate that climate change will accelerate the processing of...
