THE STREON EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM:
STATUS, UPDATES, AND GROUP DISCUSSION
Tuesday, May 19, 12:30 pm-1:30 pm
Hilton Hotel, Walker Room, 4th Floor
The STReams Experimental Observatory Network (STREON) is an experimental initiative that is part of the aquatic program at the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). This open-access experiment spans sites across North America, and is designed to manipulate stream nutrient concentrations and the presence/absence of large-bodies consumers at 10 NEON aquatic sites, from Puerto Rico to Arctic Alaska. This session is designed to provide an update on the status of STREON and provide a forum for STREON working group discussions. Open to all attendees, lunch is not provided.

SYNTHESIS FOR SCALER:
SCALE CONSUMERS AND LOTIC ECOSYSTEM RATES
Friday, May 22, 9:00 am-5:00 pm
Hilton Hotel, Oak Room, 5th Floor
Contact: Walter Dodds.
We will explore methods for scaling measurements of ecosystem metabolism and nitrogen uptake from patches, to reaches and whole watersheds. The influence of consumers on those rates and how they scale will be assessed, and a framework for comparisons of scaling across biomes will be developed. We will use data from recently completed experiments to initiate these efforts. Approaches taken will include whole-watershed modeling compared to synoptic sampling and statistical approaches such as structural equations modeling compared across scales.
