NREL APPOINTS INTERIM DIRECTOR
Dr. Dennis Ojima, NREL Senior Research Scientist,
has been named the NREL Interim Director, replacing Dr. Diana
Wall who has served as Director since 1993.
Dr. Ojima’s research areas include global climate and land-use
change effects on ecosystem dynamics related to carbon sequestration,
trace gas emissions, and the contributions to informed decision
making. He is also leading a major research effort associated with
the North American Carbon Project to better understand ecosystem
carbon and trace emissions across the continental U.S.
Among his many accomplishments and activities, Ojima has been an
Aldo Leopold Leadership Fellow since 1998, and is currently co-chair
of the Global Land Project that aims to implement a research strategy
that integrates human dimension and ecological sciences to study
the interactions of global environmental changes and land system
processes. He is a member of the U.S. National Scientific Committee
on Problems in the Environment Committee and a governing board member
of the Ecological Society of America.
A reception honoring Dr. Wall for her service and many contributions
to NREL during her term as Director was held on September 2. She
will remain at NREL as a Senior Research Scientist exploring how
soil biodiversity contributes to healthy, productive soils, and the
consequences of human activities on soil sustainability. She has
been active in the scientific community as president of the Ecological
Society of America, current chair of the Scientific Society of Presidents,
co-chair of the Aldo Leopold Leadership Program, and member of the
U.S. National Commission for the United Nations Educational, Scientific
and Cultural Organization.
The Dean of the Warner College of Natural Resources, Dr. Joyce
Berry is quoted as saying “Diana Wall has been an outstanding and
successful leader of the NREL. She is not only one of the nation's
leading ecosystem scientists, she is a visionary administrator who
has championed interdisciplinary research and inspired a community
of NREL scientists whose work is at the forefront of our most pressing
global environmental issues. Through her impressive
hard work and exceptional dedication, NREL has grown and prospered
as a recognized leader in international ecosystem research.”

provide a global strategy for in situ and remotely sensed land
observations to be implemented internationally.
Dr. Dennis Ojima attended the NEON modeling planning
meeting held at the Ecosystem Center at Woods Hole Marine Biological
Laboratory in August. The report from the NEON meeting provides
a strategy for the use of various modeling applications and recommends
that each NEON Observatory should include an explicit modeling
component integral to its design and ongoing operations. In addition,
it needs to dedicate resources to support modeling within the categories
of cyber-infrastructure tools and equipment, forecast capabilities,
and outreach.
Drs. Dennis Ojima and Keith Paustian attended
the workshop on Decision Support and Carbon Cycle Science: Practical
Strategies to Reconciling the Supply of and Demand for Carbon Cycle
Science, in Boulder, CO in June. The meeting focused on how to provide
sound scientific information to decision makers involved in managing
carbon (C) at various levels from policy to land and energy resources.
The concept of managing C is relatively new in the spectrum of managing
natural resources or environmental issues. The purpose of the workshop
was to set a strategy to identify trade-offs and uncertainties related
to C cycles that have been well communicated to decision makers.
Dr. Keith Paustian, Mark Easter, and Kendrick Killian (NREL)
attended a project meeting in Nairobi, Kenya, in May to present final results
as part of a project funded by the UN Global Environmental Facility, USAID,
and other international agencies to develop soil carbon modeling capabilities

Dr. Randy Boone (NREL) attended the semi-annual Global Livestock
Collaborative Research Support Program meeting and the International Grasslands
Congress, in Dublin, Ireland in late June. He presented results that quantified
the profits Kazakhstan herders may expect from cashmere sales and effects of
fragmentation on livestock stocking.
In August, Dr. Boone gave a presentation at the International
Mammological Congress in Sapporo, Japan on the first empirical evidence that
spatial variability in vegetation across landscapes influenced wild herbivore
dynamics. More variable vegetation provided elk and bison in the Rocky Mountain
region with more diverse areas to use while foraging, which lessened density
dependent population effects. Dr. Boone’s research was conducted with
Drs. Tom Hobbs and Guiming Wang (NREL).
Drs. Rich Conant (NREL) and Joe vonFischer (Biology/NREL)
have concluded the first Summer Ecology Research Program (SERP). Six undergraduate

Dr Ed Ayres and colleagues recently had a paper
published in Science 309:1711-1713 entitled “Rising
Atmospheric CO2 Reduces Sequestration of Root-derived Soil Carbon.
The research, which involved growing over 500 trees in eight tons
of soil, showed that despite modest increases in tree biomass and
photosynthesis, elevated CO2 concentrations increased soil microbial
respiration and markedly reduced the storage of ‘new’ carbon
in the soil. These findings indicate that if similar effects are
seen in forest ecosystems, carbon storage by soils may be substantially
reduced in the near future, potentially resulting in a positive
feedback on the rate of increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration.
