OOS 19 - Above-Belowground Interactions – From
Genomes to Ecosystems
B116, Oregon Convention Center
Organized by: AE Bennett (alibenne@bio.indiana.edu), SN Johnson
Moderator: DJ Ballhorn
This OOS highlights the spectrum of current and potential research
from genomics through ecosystems in above-belowground
interactions in order to expand the boundaries of future research
in this area. Above-belowground interactions drive our need for
mechanistic understanding, and have important implications for the
fields of restoration ecology, conservation, and agroecology.
