A Cross-Site Synthesis of Biotic and Abiotic Agents of Decomposition and SOM Dynamics in LTER Sites
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 »
Preliminary Synthesis of Species Removal Experiments: Follow-up to the ASM “LTER/GCTE Workshop on Removal Experiments on the Role of Biodiversity in Ecosystem Functioning”
Effects of Decomposing Woods on Soil Carbon Accumulation and Chemistry, Fungal Diversity and Microbial Enzyme Systems
Sense-of-Place Attitudes in the World’s Temperate Lake Districts
East Asia-Pacific Organic Matter Decomposition Processes Workshop
The workshop was designed as a pre-meeting for future collaboration of a multi-site organic matter decomposition experiment in the East Asia-Pacific region. The meeting and discussion among potential site collaborators worked towards a successful regional cross-site comparison study. The Taiwan Ecological Research Network (TERN) took the responsibility to organize, host and conduct this workshop and… Read more »
