Dear ECOLOG, The British Ecological Society's Plants-Soils-Ecosystems and Plant Environmental Physiology special interest groups are hosting a joint meeting - '*Carbon Cycling: from Plants to Ecosystems*' - at the University of Manchester, UK, October 16-17th 2014.
The meeting will include three sessions, focusing on carbon cycling at different scales: 1. The fine detail: molecular and microbial processes in the carbon cycle 2. The middle ground: plant-rhizosphere interactions 3. The big picture: carbon cycling at the landscape scale Keynote addresses will be given by Aimée Classen (University of Tennessee and Natural History Museum of Denmark), Lisa Wingate (French National Institute for Agricultural Research), and Howard Griffiths (University of Cambridge). We hope the meeting will attract lots of interesting science (and scientists!) focusing on diverse organisms and processes at a range of scales, and will provide opportunities to discuss how we can work together to draw conclusions across scales. Abstract submission is open until *5pm BST on August 22nd*. Please see http://besplantsoileco.wordpress.com/pse-pepg-joint-meeting/ for further details. We hope to see you in Manchester this October! Best wishes, Mike Whitfield (organising committee member)
