• Ecological Networks in a Changing Climate (2010, background): “These ratios are key drivers of many ecosystem processes associated with decomposition (e.g. Hladyz et al., 2009; Norby et al., 2001; Tuchman et al., 2002) and, ultimately, the fluxes of energy and nutrients to the higher trophic levels within food webs.”
• Mammalian responses to climate change at the Paleocene-Eocene boundary: Polecat Bench record in the northern Bighorn Basin, Wyoming (2003, background): “Here new and ongoing experiments with herbivores fed on plants grown in CO2-enriched atmospheres are particularly interesting (e.g., Fajer et al., 1989; Kinney et al., 1997; Tuchman et al., 2002).”
• ROSEMARY MACKAY FUND ARTICLE: Ecological stoichiometry of trophic interactions in the benthos: understanding the role of C:N:P ratios in lentic and lotic habitats (2002, background): “Consequently, benthic ecologists seeking to explain variation in algal and plant stoichiometry should explore linkages among multiple physicochemical factors in surface water, groundwater, and the elemental demands of new autotrophic production.”
• Altered kelp (Laminariales) phlorotannins and growth under elevated carbon dioxide and ultraviolet‐B treatments can influence associated intertidal food webs (2007, background): “Recently Tuchman et al. (2002) state that indirect effects on freshwater temperate stream detrital cycling, induced by changes in nutritional quality of CO2-altered allochthonous matter, will likely have a major impact on inherent aquatic ecosystems.”
• Ecological stoichiometry in freshwater benthic systems: recent progress and perspectives (2005, background): “For example, growth rates and food conversion efficiencies of crane fly larvae were greatly reduced when fed leaf litter from trees exposed to a CO2-enriched atmosphere, which resulted in a high C : N ratio of the litter (Tuchman et al., 2002).”
• Conservation from the bottom up: forecasting effects of global change on dynamics of organic matter and management needs for river networks (2011, background): “:P and unpalatable secondary compounds (Rier et al. 2002, Tuchman et al. 2002, Adams et al. 2003, 2005).”
• Climate change and freshwater ecosystems: impacts across multiple levels of organization (2010, background): “If diet switching is not feasible and feeding rates cannot be elevated sufficiently by increased activity, then metabolic costs of nutrient acquisition will rise, potentially leading to a slowing of biomass growth rates of individuals (figure 4j) and, by extension, of secondary production within the”
