Using long-term data to examine above- and below-ground interactions across a gradient of human influence in diverse ecosystems

jripplinger — Wed, 29 Jul 2015 19:52:09 +0000

By modifying their habitats, ecosystem engineers living belowground influence soil properties and processes, and in turn aboveground process, from local to regional scales.

Additional Comments:

We would like to have participants involved from each LTER site. We will be able to make the best use of our working group time, if participants come prepared with long-term data from their respective sites on plant communities, soil nutrients, and ecosystem engineers (e.g. ants, earthworms, nematodes). But, we emphasize that this depth of site knowledge is not required for participation.
