hosted by the
ARCTIC ECOLOGY LABORATORY
on the campus of
Michigan State University
East Lansing, Michigan
U.S.A.
CONFERENCE FOCUS:
The 9th ITEX meeting will showcase integration within ITEX and seek to
catalyze integration with the Climate Change Community. The focus of the
conference will be to highlight ITEX achievements and demonstrate why ITEX
results are central to understanding vegetation response to global warming.
While stressing the need for continued long-term data sets, the conference
will emphasize linkages and applications of current ITEX work within and
beyond the network. The meeting will be proceeded by an ITEX synthesis
volume that integrates the current ITEX findings in a way that is useful to
the global change community.

ORAL POSTERS:
Oral posters will be selected amongst members of the ITEX community that
are in close accordance with the Goals and Rational for the conference. We
are also soliciting talks from non-ITEX members. Selection of these talks
will be based on the ability to incorporate and stimulate ITEX work.
It is the intention of the Arctic Ecology Laboratory to pay travel expenses
for all invited speakers with the understanding that the speaker will
contribute a chapter to a synthesis volume by April 1, 1999.
Abstracts are Due December 1st, 1998.
