Publication Plans

Given the rich scientific content of the 3-day symposium, we would like to encourage participants to contribute to the public outreach of this event. We are currently establishing the following publication framework:

1. EOS, Transactions, AGU, Meeting summary (coordination by Kelman Wieder, Gabriela Schaepman-Strub)
2. EGU Biogeosciences Online Journal (http://www.copernicus.org/EGU/bg/bg.html) for a special issue on carbon in peatlands
3. Oikos (review article coordinated by Juul Limpens)

Please let us know if you are interested in contributing to the special section in Biogeosciences.

Please use the following citation guideline for the proceedings containing the symposium abstracts:
