312 Symposium--S9/S5 Joint Symposium On Ecosystem-Mineral Interactions: I
Oral Session
S09 Soil Mineralogy Soil is a synthograph of environmental conditions and ecosystem process through time. �Understanding how soil minerals interact with, control and record ecosystem processes is fundamental to understanding soil and ecosystem function. This joint symposium between the Soil Science Society of America�s Soil Mineralogy and Pedology divisions will explore the interaction between soil minerals and ecosystem processes across nano- to landscape spatial scales, modern to deep geologic time scales, and across natural and managed ecosystems. We seek to enhance communication between scientists studying ecosystem-mineral Interactions in a multidisciplinary forum. Topics include novel coupling of molecular, isotopic, or imaging techniques for using soil mineral data to better understand: (i) the coevolution of soil and ecosystem properties; (ii) soil biogeochemical cycling in natural and managed systems, and (iii) the quantification of mineral weathering and transformation processes.Cosponsor(s):
