Poster Number: 64 Presenter/Primary Author: Katherina Hell The perennially ice-covered lakes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys are microbially dominated systems lacking a complex food-web.
Future of LTER Fungal/Bacterial Environmental Genomics Studies
Working Group Reports Final reports: Fungal-Bacterial Genomics WG ASM 2012 Report.pdf Participant list: LTER ASM 2012 WG Participants.pdf Long-term ecological studies have provided meaningful information on diversity and ecology of animals, plants, fungi and bacteria, and the impact of climate change on these communities.

Plant host effects on soil bacterial community diversity, nutrient characteristics, and microbial antagonistic phenotypes depend on plant community diversity.
Poster Number: 62 Presenter/Primary Author: Dan Schlatter While both plant host and community diversity have been shown to influence soil microbial communities, there is little understanding of how microbial communities may vary in association with the sa
Long-term nitrogen enrichment affects the structure of soil fungal communities
Poster Number: 27 Presenter/Primary Author: Eric Morrison Nitrogen (N) deposition from fossil fuel burning has the potential to affect ecosystem processes such as the decomposition and storage of soil organic matter.
Identifying alternative indicators for the detection of abrupt transitions in ecosystems: a consideration of time scale and community parameters
Working Group Reports Final reports: 2012 LTER ASM workshop report_final.pdf As climate change continues to accelerate, many ecosystems are poised for frequent abrupt and irreversible transitions (Millenium Ecosystem Assessment, 2005).
