Description
Summary:Acknowledgements I would like to thank my advisor, Steven Hamburg, for his invaluable guidance in this thesis as well as throughout my undergraduate career – I will always value both the high points to which he brought me and the low ones he dragged me through. My readers, Indy Burke and Gus Shaver, gave me great advice in planning my project and useful comments on the drafts of my thesis. I would like to thank Clyde Goulden of the Academy of Natural Sciences for bringing me to Mongolia as his REU student and giving me free reign to work on what I wished. I would like in particular to thank all of the scientists, students, and field crew at the Hovsgol LTER site. Not only was their advice and aid precious in my work, they made me feel welcome in the Mongolian wilderness where I probably would have perished otherwise. I would especially thank Otgonsuren Avirmed and Lkhagva Ariuntsetseg of the Hovsgol Global Environmental Facility project, Jayne Belnap of USGS, and Emilia Jernst of Colby College, who were all great friends and sources of knowledge in the field.
