Digging deeper: research challenges in plant-soil interactions, 2-3 October,
Charles Darwin House, London
This is the first official Plants, Soils, Ecosystems meeting, in which we will
identify fundamental challenges in the field of plant-soil interactions, and
their application to climate mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and
sustainable food production. A particular focus will be on the issue of scales
(both spatial and temporal), on the stability of processes and ecosystems, and
on the application and integration of fundamental science into policy and
management.
The meeting focusses on three key areas, which all have their own session and
keynote speaker, and which are open for contributed talks and posters. Each
session will be followed by a plenary discussion, with the aim to pinpoint the
most urgent and fundamental research challenges in these areas:
1. Carbon cycling - keynote speaker: Prof Richard Bardgett, The University of
Manchester
2. Nutrient cycling - keynote speaker: Dr Dave Johnson, The University of
Aberdeen
3. Community dynamics and biodiversity - keynote speaker: Dr Jenny Rowntree,
The University of Manchester
We have compiled an exciting programme of talks, posters, wine reception and
conference dinner - all included in the fee. Deadline for abstract submission
is 11 September, and deadline for registration is 18 September. Follow this
link http://digging-deeper.eventbrite.co.uk/ for more information about the
meeting, abstract submission, and registration.
I'd be eternally grateful and return the favour anytime!
