I’ve seen lots of good talks this year and have had lots of fun conversations with fellow ecologists that I’ve gotten to know over the years. This evening I will be presenting a poster, which is the same as the poster I presented earlier this year at the Front Range Student Ecology Symposium<\/a>. I actually kind of wish that I had an updated version of my poster since I have made a lot of progress on analyzing this data since I made the poster, but it should still be fun to chat with everyone.<\/p>\n

I’ve seen some good talks this week, including lots of nitrogen talks (of course) and other good global change and biogeochem ones as well.\u00a0 I especially enjoyed Dan Liptzin’s talk on rapid changes in oxygen levels in tropical soils. He showed us how the oxygen levels (and inversely, CO2<\/sub> levels) in soils track the tropical rains in Puerto Rican rainforests. He also showed, however, that within a very similar area, overall oxygen levels were high, low, or variable with no easy way to guess which spots would be which. As always, more research is called for.<\/p>\n

The conference is being held in Albuquerque this year. It’s been fun poking around, though I have to say that my general impression is that there are a lot of sketchy characters here. I saw some sketcher harrassing a conference attendee at the bus stop yesterday and my hand was on my cell phone in case the situation worsened (it did not). Also, two nights ago when I approached the house I’m staying at, some random dude hopped up off the porch swing and took off into the night! On the plus side though, I love the little adobe-style houses and I had some awesome tacos yesterday. I unfortunately don’t have any pictures of the city. Gotta remember to bring my camera when I come to these things!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
