Keywords: N deposition, long-term experiments, moisture manipulation and soil warming

Session Description: In the rapidly changing world of the Anthropocene, in situ experimental manipulations are necessary to push soils to novel states for which we have no current analog and to understand the cascading effects of global change factors, such as warming, N deposition, CO2 fertilization, and drought, on soil biogeochemical processes. Long term experiments are especially important for revealing non-linear and threshold-type responses that could not have been predicted from the initial responses. This poster session complements the oral session and may include submissions highlighting experimental design and existing datasets.
