UK Agroforestry Discussion Forum - May 1990 - Aberdeen
Below-ground interactions Group
The below-ground interactions group of the forum will hold a meeting
in conjunction with the main forum meeting sometime in May next
year in Aberdeen. William Eason (WPBS) is the convenor and I will be
the local organiser. It would be useful to get some idea of what
those interested parties would like to see and hear and when the
meeting should be held (ie. before/after the forum meeting), and
how long do we need (1 day, 1 night, 1 minute). It is important
to decide this because we all have limited travel money and so we must use
our time most efficiently. Possible formats include
Methodology - Soil moisture techniques - Neutron moisture meters
Time domain reflectometry
Micro and mini-rhizotrons for root studies.
Research reports- latest findings and problems encountered from the
various research groups.
Some of the methodolgy can be seen on the field visits associated with the
main meeting but at MLURI/NOSCA we could have workshops on particular
techniques if the group desired and time allowed.
Therefore lets get some feedback and discussion and start using our
bulletin board.
