The
Ohio Soil Ecology
Collaboratory is a group of researchers in the state of Ohio
with similar interests in soils and their
influence on plants, water, and global biogeochemical cycles.
Our
primary goal is to
share resources, instrumentation, and findings such that the quality
and
progress of research are optimized and every member has access to
resources
greater than their laboratory alone.
The
Ohio Soil Ecology Collaboratory is a laboratory without walls.
We
happily accept new
members at any time. The
only
requirements for membership are participation in events and maintaining
a
spirit of collaboration and intellectual curiosity.
