For the February LTER Community call, we’ll be hearing from two synthesis groups with exciting new publications.
Variations in climate, hydrology, and nutrients drive different seasonal patterns in river Si concentrations across biomes of North America
Dr. Joanna Carey and Dr. KathiJo Jankowski, U.S. Geological Survey
From poles to tropics: A multi-biome synthesis investigating the controls on river Si exports
Principal Investigators: Dr. Joanna Carey, Babson College and Dr. KathiJo Jankowski, US Geological Survey
Their most recent paper is Johnson, K., Jankowski, K. J., Carey, J. C., Sethna, L. R., Bush, S. A., Mcknight, D., McDowell, W. H., Wymore, A. S., Kortelainen, P., Jones, J. B., Lyon, N. J., Laudon, H., Poste, A. E., & Sullivan, P. L. (2024). Climate, Hydrology, and Nutrients Control the Seasonality of Si Concentrations in Rivers.
