Awesome new paper by Jennifer Holguin, a recent Ph.D. graduate from Jennie McLaren's lab in our EEB Ph.D. program here at UTEP. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Low retention of added nitrogen at realistic levels of simulated nitrogen deposition in the Northern Chihuahuan Desert
Aridlands are expected to be sensitive to even low levels of nitrogen (N) deposition, yet most experiments apply N in amounts that greatly exceed depo…

Biocrust Mosses and Cyanobacteria Exhibit Distinct Carbon Uptake Responses to Variations in Precipitation Amount and Frequency
This study investigates carbon uptake in biological soil crusts (biocrusts) under varying precipitation regimes, testing pulse-response strategies in moss- and cyanobacteria-dominated crusts. The res...

We did infiltration measurements on some biocrusted soils today to help test the protocol for the upcoming CrustNet project @jornada1912.bsky.social

We had a fun couple days sampling biocrusts last week! I'm not the best at lichen ID but I believe this is Psora crenata.

Talk was fun and I enjoyed chatting with fellow soil CO2 enthusiasts afterwards. Here's the main diagram from the talk if it helps anyone!

My talk at #AGU24 coming up in a bit less than an hour at 11:30 rm. 150! Soil CO2 efflux in dryland soils: biotic vs. abiotic production and diffusive vs. advective transport.

Alright time to give this one a chance. Main news is I'm headed to #AGU2024 next week. Also I still have an eye out for Ph.D. students, especially if you love biocrusts! anthony.darrouzet-nardi.net
