A successful graduate student collaboration that began at
the 2009 All Scientists Meeting (ASM) Graduate Student Symposium has recently
resulted in a publication! The group,
led by Todd Robinson (formerly of KBS), examined the effects of intra-annual precipitation
on productivity across a broad range of LTER sites, from forests to
tundra. After meeting at ASM, the group
successfully applied for funding from the LNO to meet at KBS to hammer out the details
of the data analysis and compile datasets.
Then a few students took the lead on analyzing the data, while others
wrote up the results. The paper is now featured
on the Oikos blog (http://oikosjournal.wordpress.com/2012/09/28/its-raining-again/)
and the full manuscript can be found at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1600-0706.2012.20655.x/abstract.
Keep in mind that the next deadline for working group
proposals is October 15th. I
highly encourage all of you to apply!
