Electronic Discussion Lists

Nutrient Cycling List

An electronic discussion list for nutrient cycling issues has been set up by Dan Binkley (Colorado State University) and Phil Sollins (H.J. Andrews LTER) using the Listserv format (see below).

At present the list is being operated as part of Ecolog-L, the distribution list set up by and for the Ecological Society of America (ESA). In future, it may be split off as a separate list, Nutcyc-L. LTER researchers are encouraged to subscribe to Ecolog-L and other Listserv lists, as are other potentially interested faculty, staff and students at the sites.

Operating within Ecolog-L, Nutcyc-L is intended as a forum for the following:

1. Methods questions
2. Jobs, meetings, RFPs, etc.
3. Research opportunities
4. Requests for data for review papers or to test hypotheses
5. Discussion of ideas, problems, etc.

Subscribing and Unsubscribing

To subscribe to a list, simply send the message SUB listname to Listserv at the appropriate Listserv site (see below). Unsubscribe at any time by sending SIGNOFF listname to the same address. Please note that if your site or its Internet name has changed since you first subscribed, you may have difficulty unsubscribing.

Other Lists Relevant to LTER

There are several thousand distribution lists worldwide. Those listed above are partially relevant to LTER. A complete “list of lists” may be obtained by sending List Global to any Listserve site (e.g., listserv@ilearn.ucd.ie), but the file that comes back is about 200K, which may be too large for your mail system. In this case, you may transfer a copy of the file, available in PUB/Listser, at Ltemet via File Transfer Protocol (ftp), to your own computer.

For more information and a list of current subscribers, send the message REVIEW lisiname to Listserv at the appropriate Listserv site. Or contact Phil Sollins sollins@fsl.orst.edu or sollins@lternet.Washington.edu.
