Soil Science Society of America (SSSA) annual meeting
Dear colleagues, The Soil Science Society of America (SSSA) annual meeting will be held October 22-25 in Tampa, FL. We encourage you to submit your abstract to the poster session ‘*New Insights on Biogeochemical Processes in Terrestrial Ecosystems as Revealed by Isotopic and Biomarker Approaches’*, which is sponsored by the Forest, Range and Wildland Soils Division, and co-sponsored by the Soil Biology & Biochemistry Division. We also have a great line-up for the oral sessions, which will be published soon. *Please consider submitting an abstract for our poster session today.* The final abstract submission deadline is *May 23*. *Session Description:* The measurement of stable isotopes and use of biomarkers has been widely applied to environmental research questions over the past few decades and continue to provide notable scientific advances on issues related to soil biogeochemistry. A key aspect of isotopic and biomarker research is the ability to non-destructively study complex interactions among soils, plants, and the atmosphere, integrating abiotic and biotic processes occurring at different spatial and temporal scales. In this symposium/session, we invite speakers to present on recent theoretical and experimental developments in soil biogeochemical processes as revealed by isotopic and biomarker analysis. The list of oral and poster sessions can be found here: https://scisoc.confex.com/scisoc/2017am/webprogrampreliminary/S3.html Registration and hotel reservations are also open. Please see this link for further details: https://www.acsmeetings.org/ Please encourage your graduate students to sign up for one of the graduate student poster sessions. See you in Tampa! Organizers: Antra Boca (Utah State University), Kevan J. Minick (North Carolina State University), Jay E. Raymond (Virginia Tech) and Fernanda Santos (University of California, Merced)
