E., Hubrecht Laboratory, The Netherlands The Ecosystems Center The Center carries out research and education in ecosystems ecology. Terrestrial and aquatic scientists work in a wide variety of ecosystems ranging from the streams, lakes, and tundra of the Alaskan Arctic (limits on plant primary production! to sediments of Massachusetts Bay (controls of nitrogen cycling), to forests in New England (effects of soil warming on carbon and nitrogen cycling) and South America (effects on greenhouse gas fluxes of conversion of rain forest to pasture) and to large estuaries in the Gulf of Maine (effects on the plankton and benthos of nutrients and organic matter in stream runoff). Many projects, such as those dealing with carbon and nitrogen cycling in forests, streams, and estuaries, use the stable isotopes I3C and I5N to investigate natural processes. A mass spectrometer facility is available at the Center. Data from field and laboratory research are used to construct mathematical models of whole-system responses to change. Some of these models are combined with geographically referenced data to produce estimates of how environmental changes affect key ecosystem indexes such as net primary productivity and carbon storage throughout the world's terrestrial biosphere. The results of the Center's research are applied, wherever possible, to the
