Hello Ecologgers - I am setting up a lab soil incubation to measure C
respiration of several experimental treatments. (Thank you to the many
Ecologgers who offered help with setup of the mason jars etc.!) We will be
sampling CO2 in the headspace of mason jars
We have outfitted our LiCor 6400
Hello Ecologgers - Can someone point me to a method for installing septa
onto mason jar lids for sampling gas in soil incubations? Or if there is a
source for purchasing them, that would be worthwhile too.
Many thanks!

Hello all - Apologies if this has already been mentioned - I can't say I've
read EVERY post in this thread - but I think that an Intro to Computer
Science/Programming class can be as useful as Calculus or more so for many
biology majors. It builds good logical thinking and is much more likely to
For what it is worth, I have a family friend who was an English Professor
at Dartmouth when I was starting graduate school. He told me I advise
everyone who asks me about graduate school [in English] against it. Why?
Because the ones who will make are the kinds of people who would go ahead

Hi Calandra - I'd look at Ensia, a publication out of UMinnesota. They've
had a whole string of writings on what sustainability means, including the
end of sustainability.
Google Ensia sustainability and a bunch will pop up.

Hi Patrick - A very interesting question. I have taught both a Classic

undergraduate Plant Ecology course with reading that come almost
exclusively from the primary literature. I've come to think that the
classic papers don't serve

that it is not worth the waste of time to teach in an undergraduate lab.
