[LTER-BioProd] Biodiversity Agenda paper - reviews and resubmission

[Mary O'Connor]

Hi everyone! 

I hope everyone is hanging in there.

A few weeks ago I got reviews from PRSB on our agenda paper. They were overall quite good, and relatively minor, so I took care of them with some helpful points from Akira. I’ve attached here the draft with track changes (as requested by PRSB), a clean draft if you prefer, and the reviews and my responses. 

No action required from you now, I’m just sending this to keep you in the loop. I will resubmit by Sept 10th, and if I don’t hear from you I will assume that you are happy with this! 

FYI, here are the major changes, as well as one area to contribute if you are so inspired: 

1. I combined our knowledge gaps and grand challenges into a single list. This of course resulted in some consolidation and rewriting of things. I think it’s overall more streamlined. 

2. I revised Figure 1 quite a bit. 

One thing we could do if we wanted (it was not requested) would be to add small figures or icons for each knowledge gap and action item. If anyone is graphically inspired and would like to contribute a panel to figure 5 or even a new figure, let me know! 

Finally, I’m just being respectful of your time when I say no action required; if you do read it and have suggestions, I’m happy to consider them. 

Best wishes,

Mary
