The ECo-Series provides a forum for discussing scientific issues of societal relevance, sharing new and innovative techniques, and for interacting with other scientists, stakeholders and policy makers. Our aim is to provide entertaining, educational, and provocative events which foster discussion and creativity both within and outside of the Department.

Coupled cycles of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus
It is very likely, based on experimental results and modelling, that nutrient shortage will limi the effect of rising atmospheric CO2 on future land carbon sinks (IPCC AR5). While there is high confidence that nitrogen will limit carbon shortage on land, the role of phosphorus is more uncertain. Daniel S. Coll will present his work which aims at shedding light …
