Knowledge graph centered on Ecosystem nutrient uptake measurement (Amphibia) with 22 nodes and 49 connections. Top connected: pond hydroperiod, biogeochemical cycling, mark-recapture (Ambystomatidae), nutrient limitation, climate change impacts.

Description

Nutrient addition experiments in benthic substrates and sedge biofilms to measure ecosystem demand through exponential decay models. Measures uptake capacity of different pond compartments.

Typical Equipment

  • clear plastic cylinders
  • plastic bags
  • NH₄Cl
  • Na₂HPO₄

Output Measurements

  • benthic substrate uptake rate
  • sedge biofilm uptake rate
