[LTER-All-lter] Long Term Soil Manipulations Session at SSSA

[Caitlin Pries]

We would like to bring your attention to a session quite relevant to LTER research we are organizing for the January 2019 Soil Science Society of America meeting in San Diego. The session is on long term soil experiments such as warming, drought, organic matter additions, and nutrient manipulations (see below). Many LTER experiments would be a great fit for this session. Please forward this to any interested colleagues, students, or post docs. I want this to be a lively session that highlights ambitious in situ experimentation. The long-term experiments have a lot to learn from each other and a lot to teach researchers looking to start their own experiments.
Abstracts submissions are open through August 7th with a discount if submitted by July 24th.

In the rapidly changing world of the Anthropocene, in situ experimental manipulations are necessary to push soils to novel states for which we have no current analog and to understand the cascading effects of global change factors, such as warming, N deposition, CO2 fertilization, and drought, on soil biogeochemical processes. Long term experiments are especially important for revealing non-linear and threshold-type responses that could not have been predicted from the initial responses. This session seeks to highlight the new insights from existing long term experiments in agronomic and natural systems, and introduce recent soil experiments that have long term aspirations.
Thank you for your time.
Best,
Caitlin Hicks Pries
