		Grasslands, Rangelands, and Agricultural Systems This report explores how switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), a native perennial cellulosic grass, may become the center of biofuel production in some parts of the Great Plains and Midwest. This...		More Info

		Growing Plants for Fuel: Predicting Effects on Water, Soil, and the Atmosphere This report looks at both the grain and cellulose-based “bioenergy landscapes” and review what is known about their biogeochemical impacts. This report will also explore the complexity of factors...		More Info

		How Much Water Do We Use? This short film presents the one of the basic concepts of a hydrologic cycle, a water budget. How much water is there? Where it is and how does it move. For example, how does land use effect the...		More Info

		Issues in Ecology, Issue 01: Human Alteration of the Global Nitrogen Cycle: Causes and Consequences This report presents an overview of how humans have altered the global nitrogen cycle. An introduction to the nitrogen cycle is provided; as well as human induced nitrogen fixation and its impact on...		More Info

		Issues in Ecology, Issue 04: Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning In this report, biodiversity and its relevance to the ecosystems that support humanity is discussed. Ecosystem functioning is defined as the collective activities of all biota within an ecosystem...		More Info
