Drylands cover nearly half the world’s land surface and play a major role in carbon and nutrient cycles, yet current climate-based models often underestimate decomposition in these systems. This webinar will introduce the NSF-funded Decomposition Across Dtylands (DeAD)project, which combines field experiments, long-term observations, remote sensing and hierarchical modeling to better understand dryland decomposition across scales. It will also highlight DeAD’s collaborative efforts, data rescue work, and opportunities for future scientific involvement.
