Ruth Yanai is recruiting a graduate student, MS or PhD, to participate in a new multi-investigator project on nutrient limitation (N vs P) of young and old northern hardwood stands at Hubbard Brook, Jeffers Brook, and Bartlett Experimental Forest (sites with contrasting P availability) in New Hampshire, USA. Simulation modeling using Rastetter's Multi-Element Limitation model could contribute to this project, as could field studies, for example on quantitative soil and root sampling or foliar retranslocation of nutrients.
