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).**
We are interested in leveraging LTER datasets on nitrogen process rates, stocks, and fluxes to ask questions about local versus regional controls on nitrogen cycling. We invite members from all LTER sites to discuss available nitrogen datasets from each site and discuss questions that can be addressed through a synthesis. Some potential questions include: (1) How do regional (climate, atmospheric deposition, NPP) versus local (disturbance, patch type) controls influence the nitrogen cycling and stocks and (2) How does the magnitude and location of nitrogen cycling hotspots differ across LTER sites? The goal of the workshop is to develop questions and hypotheses, identify datasets, and formulate sub-working groups to conduct the analyses.
