cycling in temperate and tropical forest ecosystems. Tasks will include the
collection and chemical analysis of plant materials, soil, gas and water
samples. For sample analysis, the Research Technician will be trained in
and use a gas chromatograph, carbon-nitrogen autoanalyzer, inorganic
nutrient autoanalyzer (Lachat), as well as an isotope ratio mass
spectrometer. The Research Technician will be primarily responsible for
