Colorado, EEUU, del 6 al 9 de julio de 2009
The symposium will cover a range of topics on the vital role of soil organic matter (SOM) in the function and sustainability of terrestrial ecosystems and the global carbon cycle. Research on SOM in all terrestrial ecosystems (e.g., cropland, grassland, forest, tundra) is included. Aim of the symposium is to present the latest research on SOM across the globe and highlight future research directions. The conference sessions will consist of morning plenary and afternoon parallel presentations, with invited keynote and volunteered talks. A poster session will also be organized. A Field trip will be offered on Monday, July 6 to provide an opportunity to learn about Colorado soils along an elevational gradient.
