Regulation of Organic Matter Preservation in Soils and Sediments

The workshop, “Scoop on Dirt” was held to compare soil organic matter (SOM) data and elicit a dialogue among estuarine wetland scientists from the eastern U.S., Gulf and Pacific coasts. The workshop, organized by Chris Craft, was held in conjunction with the Estuarine Research Federation meeting. Approximately 50 participants attended, including a core group of scientists (Jim Morris-PIE, Linda Blum, Bob Christian, Iris Anderson-VCR, Chris Craft-GCE, Randy Chambers-FCE) from coastal NSF LTER sites.
