Twenty-two working group organizers presented wrap up information on their working group or groups. Robert B. Waide, Executive Director of the LTER Network Office, gave the presenters about five minutes each to give an overview, outcomes, and possible future directions following their working group sessions. He urged working group organizers to do their reports promptly and to submit them and any supplemental material to the working group pages at http://asm2012.lternet.edu/working-groups.
A general list of presented wrap-ups follows, with links to the specific working group pages containing final reports and other material.
