Session Description: The U.S. and other militaries manage millions of acres of land for military training. These lands contain a variety of soil, geological and biological resources. They also contain a wide variety of some of the most diverse ecosystems. The challenge is to manage these lands in concert with military use, while maintaining the unique biodiversity that sustains these lands. This requires research in soil, microbial, plant and biological communities and system impacts. Presentation of experimental research and results at every level for these ecosystems, e.g. basic/micro, applied/relationships and impacts/systems is appropriate.
