Hello all,

This is a reminder that we have our first Enviro-lunch seminar at SRE 475
between 12-1 pm. Hope we see you all there.

Organizers for Spring 2020: KJ Min and Yang Yang

*Title*: Altitudinal patterns of nutrient fluxes and pools at the Sierra
Nevada

*Abstract:* The earth’s critical zone sustains nearly all terrestrial life
because it is a near surface environment where rock, soil, water, air, and
plants interact. We synthesized our existing measurements at the Southern
Sierra Critical Zone Observatory and Kings River Experimental Watershed,
the two co-located complementary long-term research stations in California,
to answer both basic and applied biogeochemical questions including: 1. How
elevational gradient influences nutrient fluxes and storages in biosphere
(i.e. plants), lithosphere (i.e., soil and rock) and hydrosphere (i.e.
water)? 2. How biosphere, lithosphere and hydrosphere influence each other
spatially and temporally in terms of nutrient dynamics. 3. How disturbance
(i.e. thinning) impacts nutrient fluxes and thus storages in the critical
zone.

*Bio:* He is a postdoc working at the Southern Nevada Research Institute at
UC Merced. He is  interested in biogeochemical cycle (e.g. carbon,
nitrogen, mercury) in forested watersheds. He earned a M.S. in forest
ecology and management in 2015 and a PhD in Environmental Science in 2018,
both at State University of New York College of Environmental Science and
Forestry (SUNY-ESF).
