Effects of biochar on rhizosphere processes and biochar co-application with nitrification inhibitor on GHG emissions and microbial and enzymatic activities
DownloadSpring 2023
Production of biochar and its use has a wide implication in waste management, climate change mitigation, soil health enhancement and energy production. The strategy to produce biochar and its application to soil aims to replace waste biomass (by-product of photosynthesis) in soil in a stabilized...

Fall 2017
This thesis focuses on formulating and analyzing non linear models for microbial dynamics vis-a-vis human and environmental health. Firstly, we develop and investigate a stoichiometric organic matter decomposition model in a chemostat culture that incorporates the dynamics of grazers. This...

Modelling Impacts of Producer Turnover Time and Elevated Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide on Food Chains
DownloadFall 2020
Ecological stoichiometry is a framework that allows explicit consideration of nutrient restrictions on growth, and can be used to answer important ecological questions. First, we consider the impact of the turnover rate of producer biomass on ecosystems, since it is usually much faster in aquatic...

The impact of water storage capacity on plant dynamics in arid environments: a stoichiometric modeling approach
Download2024-03-01
Wang, Cuihua, Yuan, Sanling, Wang, Hao
Abstract from Author: "Plants in arid environments have evolved many strategies to resist drought. Among them, the developed water storage tissue is an essential characteristic of xerophytes. To clarify the role of water storage capacity in plant performance, we originally formulate a...

Gao, Shufei, Wang, Hao, Yuan, Sanling
Abstract from Author: "Consumers respond differently to external nutrient changes than producers, resulting in a mismatch in elemental composition between them and potentially having a significant impact on their interactions. To explore the responses of herbivores and omnivores to changes in...
