ECOLOGY LAB Purpose Predictions Background Information Materials ... Error Analysis Purpose: To record changes in habitat, and follow cycles of phosphorous, nitrogen, carbon, and water through fall, winter, and spring. Predictions:
Spring: Plants in quadrant will take up nutrients from soil, decreasing the amounts of nitrogen, carbon and phosphorous. However the plants will not absorb enough phosphorous carbon and nitrogen to depleat the un healthy amount in the soil as a result of pollution. As the weather gets warmer the soil will absorb more water,and the excess water will wash away more dirt and nutrients. We predict an increase in the number of plants, a color change in the ivy, and more moss growth on the trees. The spider's found in our quadrant will have offspring, which will hatch and spread in all direction, some making new webs in our habitat. T here will be a decrease of water available in our habitat, however, every plant will have an ample water supply from the runoff. Background Information: Our ecology study took place in Glover Archibald Park, Washington DC. This portion of the park is a frequently visited deciduous forestwith a beaten path running parallel to a creek. The creek is punctuated with large sewage related pipes and structures. The forest is heavily wooded but the humus has been beaten down from constant human abuse. These two factors, the sewage drop off and the human frequency most likely has led to the erosion of the creek bank. The obvious wildlife community includes squirrels, chipmunks, insects and various small birds. There are oak, maple and beech trees. The Park is also recovering from a small oil spill cause in 1996.

website: http://www.esf.edu/course/kschulz The major objective in this semester’s ‘Topics in Aquatic Ecology’ course is to learn about the current state of aquatic science. Each week we will read both a review paper (preferably one written within the past decade) and one of the papers cited in the review paper. The review paper can be on any area of aquatic ecology – from lakes to streams to wetlands to estuaries to oceans; from bacteria to plankton to fish; from littoral to pelagic to benthic. Some possible review papers and/or topics are listed on the following page. I encourage you to choose a topic different from your thesis research, but any review paper in aquatic science is fine. Journals such as BioScience, Aquatic Ecology, Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics, and Trends in Ecology and Evolution are some of the many good places to search for reviews. Choose papers and check them with me first, more than one week in advance. Two copies of the assigned papers will be placed in an envelope attached to my office door (456 Illick) a week before the seminar. Please take them only long enough to read or photocopy.

I have examined microbial processes in a wide variety of habitats: pelagic and benthic, freshwater and marine, lotic and lentic, and natural and human-impacted systems. I am particularly interested in the impacts of humans on microbial functions in ecosystems and global biogeochemical processes. Changes in nutrient characteristics across a productivity gradient. In low productivity systems, nutrients are primarily organic and dissolved, and autotrophic - heterotrophic coupling (A-H coupling) is strong, i.e., bacterial respiration is equal to or greater than primary production, with little organic matter remaining for export to the sediments. In eutrophic systems, nutrients are primarily inorganic and particulate, and A-H coupling is weak, i.e., high export production. Selected Publications Cotner, J.B., M.L. Ogdahl, and B.A. Biddanda.

      We conduct research in biological oceanography on marine microbial plankton in habitats ranging from the York River through Chesapeake Bay to the open sea, inland seas and Antarctic coastal seas. Our principal focus is on the roles of bacterioplankton and protozoans in the biogeochemical cycling of organic carbon and nitrogen. Our research focuses on temporal and spatial variations of bacterial biomass, growth dynamics, and organic matter utilization. Bacterial biomass is measured using flow cytometry and epifluorescence microscopy/video image analysis here at VIMS. I am lead Principal Investigator for the Palmer Antarctica Long Term Ecological Research Project ( PAL-LTER) , and active in the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS), as well as in Chesapeake Bay where I have been investigating water column processes since 1981.

    Watersheds
    Watersheds are regions or areas bounded by a divide and eventually draining to a particular location such as a river, lake, wetland, ocean or other body of water. Watersheds come in all sizes, and each small watershed is part of a larger one. A small stream in your neighborhood has its own watershed, and so does the river into which that stream feeds. The Mississippi River's watershed is enormous, covering two-thirds of the North American continent. To understand what a watershed is, think first of what happens at higher elevations. There the flow from natural underground springs and precipitation form the headwaters of local streams. As water moves downstream it feeds into successively larger bodies of water such as lakes and rivers, and eventually it flows out into the ocean. Because they “catch” and then “drain” the water that collects, watersheds are often called catchment areas or drainage basins . Most of the water you see in lakes and rivers has drained into them from hundreds of smaller streams in the watershed. The intermediate watershedsthose of the streams and of the riversare the tributaries of the coastal watersheds, often hundreds of miles away from the original headwaters. Because these drainage areas are linked together, they are especially vulnerable to changes in the balance of the system. A pollutant that enters at the headwaters not only can disturb the chemical balance at its point of entry, but may affect each body of water into which the tributaries drain. Most municipalities have management plans in effect to help reduce the demand for water and regulate water quality, but, generally, the plans are focused on the water sources in their immediate area.
