We are searching for a student (PhD preferred, summer start preferred, fall or winter start possible) for a project on nutrient limitation in young and old northern hardwood stands at Hubbard Brook, Jeffers Brook, and Bartlett Experimental Forest (sites with contrasting soil fertility) 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 N mineralization and P availability. Nutrient manipulations begin in May!
Please visit the project web site (http://www.esf.edu/melnhe) and contact Heather Engelman at forestecol...@esf.edu<https://listserv.umd.edu/cgi-bin/wa?LOGON=A2%3Dind0812C%26L%3DECOLOG-L%26P%3DR2637%26I%3D-3> if you are interested in applying to SUNY-ESF ( http://www.esf.edu/graduate/admission.htm ).
