Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory

19 Aug, 05 PM - 31 Aug, 05 PM

All of the field work being conducted as part of this collaborative project is carried out off of the SNARL reserve. The research relating specifically to this application involves repeated sampling of 10 lakes in Humphreys Basin, John Muir Wilderness, for measurement of phytoplankton biomass and species composition, and phytoplankton nutrient limitation. Laboratory work is conducted at SNARL on lake-water samples transported from Humphrey's Basin lakes. Lab work involves chlorophyll extractions and determination of chlorophyll concentrations, measurement of nutrient limitation via phosphatase enzyme assay, and nutrient-additon experiments. All measurements require the use of a fluorometer. We also require use of the walk-in environmental chamber ("cold room") for incubation of samples during nutrient-limitation assays and nutrient-addition experiments. Facilities and housing needs for this application during 2003 include: housing for 1 person (Sarnelle), and space near the cold room (Lab 6, for example). See Roland Knapp's NSF application and Andrew Kramer's application, for further information on other aspects of this collaborative project.
