-        Trees marching down the hill

-        Conifers doing very well

-        Phosphorus co-limitation

-        Insect declines

*         1:45 What new initiatives should we consider? (Templer)

-        Something spatial: Hotspots of change in the landscape - streams, hydropedo. Make some predictions about just where in the landscape are poised for change. FUFOR.

-        Foliar N and the rules of life to integrate biodiversity and biogeochemistry.

-        Resilience in the long-term data streams

-        Diversity, equity and inclusion - humans, evolution of our community.

-        Molecular linking community composition with function

-        It's the trees stupid!

o   Evapotranspiration

o   Novel communities, e.g., red spruce and white pine



*         Additional Topics

-        What are lessons from the mid-term review?

-        What are key gaps linked to surprising results (remote sensing, meteorology, other)?
