Dear Hubbard Brook Community,

Our next COS meeting is on October 10^th at the Cary Institute in Milllbrook, NY. Ruth Yanai, Melany Fisk, and Tim Fahey planned a great meeting focused on the topic of “Co-limitation in northern forests: commonalities and differences across taxonomic groups.” The draft agenda is below and attached.

The meeting will begin with short presentations on concepts of co-limitation and then address co-limitation for different types of organisms, including plants, microbes, insects, and vertebrates in terrestrial and aquatic environments. If you have additional ideas to contribute, let Ruth Yanai (cc’d here) know as soon as possible and we can fit in additional presentations. We are interested in concepts more than data. Breakout groups will consider interspecific and/or inter-taxonomic group interactions. We will reconvene for a grand synthesis and evaluate whether this work is publishable.

We will share information about remote access to the meeting as it gets closer.

Please save these dates for future COS meetings:

Thursday-Friday, January 3-4, 2019 (at the Cary Institute)

Wednesday, April 10, 2019 (at the Cary Institute)

Friday, July 12, 2019 (at Hubbard Brook)

All the best,

Pam Templer and John Battles
