To develop the framework of a synthesis paper to Soil Biology & Biochemistry.To review and critique the Integrated Research Challenges (IRC) proposal draft on the DIRT (Detritus Input and Removal Treatments) Intersite decomposition project (Knute Nadelhoffer, lead PI ).To review and critique the QIEB (Quantitative Integrated studies in Experimental Biology) proposal on the theoretical aspects… Read more »
Integrating LTER Research into Ecosystem Management
The Long-term Intersite Decomposition Experiment Team (LIDET)
Although numerous short-term experiments have been used to develop conceptual and simulation models of decomposition, very little is known about the later stages of this process. Exclusion of this later stage has led, at best, to incomplete understanding of ecosystem carbon and nitrogen dynamics. We propose a working group to examine the wealth of litter… Read more »
