2018 All-Scientists’ Meeting Sessions and times are now confirmed. Locations may change, but will be updated on Sched.
**Please Note: If you sync you calendar, sessions will appear in your local time zone. This can be confusing until you arrive on site (when your local time zone will be the correct one).**
Forest insects and pathogens (FIPs) are a major global change driver (GCD) with significant ecological consequences. The character and magnitude of future FIP ecosystem impacts will depend on interactions with other GCDs (e.g. land use/climate change, air pollution, other FIPs). Due to their long-term measurements of forests and disturbance interactions, LTER scientists are uniquely positioned to describe the interactions of FIPs with other GCDs. Participants will contribute to a continental-scale synthesis describing the pathways, mechanisms, and consequences of these interactions. Our workshop will review the latest research, develop conceptual models of FIP/GCD interactions, and chart a course for future collaborative LTER research.
