Call for Participation
October 9-13, 2005
In October 2003, the First International Conference on Mechanisms of Soil Organic Matter Stabilization was held at Schloss Hohenkammer, Germany, hosted by Dr. Ingrid Kögel-Knabner and colleagues. At the end of this highly successful meeting, participants agreed that there was a need for a second meeting in 2005 to continue the dialogue.
The Second Conference on Mechanisms of Soil Organic Matter Stabilization will be held October 9-13 at the Asilomar Conference Center near Monterey, California, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. As before, the goal is to bring together scientists from a range of backgrounds to share ideas and present recent research results. We welcome participation by researchers in organic geochemistry, soil science, microbiology, agronomy, ecology, and other disciplines related to the conference theme. We hope that this meeting will encourage new collaborations among researchers, generate new research ideas, and help lower barriers among disciplines.
