    NOx EMISSIONS FROM SOIL: Implications for Air Quality Modeling in Agricultural Regions (1996)
    Palo Alto, Calif. : Annual Reviews
    Annual Review of Environment and Resources 21 (1996), S. 311-346

    Notes: Abstract Attaining the ambient standard for tropospheric ozone has been difficult in many metropolitan areas, despite efforts to reduce anthropogenic sources of the ozone precursors, including the nitrogen oxides (NOx). Until recently, NOx emissions from biogenic sources in soils were not considered in simulations of air quality and emissions reductions scenarios, yet they may be significant, especially in agricultural regions where nitrogen fertilizers are applied. Soil NOx is produced primarily by microbial processes; production and emissions from soils are controlled by a suite of environmental variables, including inorganic nitrogen availability, water-filled pore space, and soil temperature. Agricultural management practices such as fertilization and irrigation affect these environmental variables and thus have the potential to dramatically alter soil NOx emissions. Although current models incorporate some of these variables, accurate regional estimation of soil NOx emissions requires modeling approaches that explicitly incorporate the spatial and temporal patterns of management practices, especially fertilization, as well as other environmental controlling variables such as water-filled pore space and soil temperature.

    Elevational and age gradients in hawaiian montane rainforest: foliar and soil nutrients (1988)
    Springer
    Oecologia 77 (1988), S. 565-570

    ISSN: 1432-1939
    Keywords: Primary succession ; Soil development ; Nutrient cycling ; Metrosideros polymorpha
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary Soils and plants were sampled along an elevational gradient from 265–1675 m on a 133-and a 3100-year-old lava flow on Mauna Loa, Hawai'i. Soil organic matter and nutrients accumulated more rapidly at low elevation on the young flow, but reached higher levels at higher elevation on the old flow. Foliar nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations were less and specific leaf weight greater for Metrosideros polymorpha leaves collected at high versus low elevations and on the young versus the old flow. Foliar δ13C was strongly correlated with specific leaf weight across the range of sites sampled.

    Variation in foliar δ13C in Hawaiian Metrosideros polymorpha: a case of internal resistance? (1990)
    Springer
    Oecologia 84 (1990), S. 362-370 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1939
    Keywords: 13C ; Environmental gradients ; Foliar chemistry ; Hawai'i ; Internal resistance
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary Sun leaves of Metrosideros polymorpha were collected in 51 sites on 9 lava flows that represented gradients of elevation, precipitation, substrate age, and substrate texture on Mauna Loa volcano, Hawai'i. Leaf mass per unit leaf area increased with increasing elevation on all flows, while foliar nitrogen concentration decreased with increasing elevation and increased with increasing substrate age. Foliar δ13C became less negative with increasing elevation on the wet east-side lava flows, but not the dry northwest-side flows; it did not reflect patterns of precipitation or presumed water availability. δ13C was very strongly correlated with leaf mass per area across all of the sites. Limited gas-exchange information suggested that calculated ci/ca did not decrease with elevation in association with less-negative δ13C, and photosynthesis per unit of nitrogen was significantly reduced in high-elevation plants. These results are consistent with a substantial internal resistance to CO2 diffusion in the thick Metrosideros polymorpha leaves in high elevation sites.
