OOS 1 - Continental-Scale Ecology and the Biology
of Macrosystems
B116, Oregon Convention Center
Organized by: DS Schimel (dschimel@neoninc.org), HW Loescher
Moderator: B Wee
This session will address topics within the emerging macrosystems
paradigm to understand biological systems over extensive
geographical and spatial extents using quantitative, interdisciplinary,
systems-oriented research, and how these capabilities are
supported by the NEON facility

OOS 2 - Agroecology of Urban Gardens: Contributions
to Research and Science Education

contributes directly not only to the need for a better understanding
of agroecology in urban settings, but also to broader themes in the
ecology and science education.
