Andrew Burton receives Best Paper Award

The Forest, Range and Wildland Division (S7) of the Soil Science Society of America prides itself on the quality of the papers that are presented in our division each year at the SSSA Annual Meeting.  We feel that it is important to recognize and reward the outstanding papers presented in the S7 Division each year.  To do this, members of the S7 Davison are asked to evaluate each of the oral papers and posters that are presented each year. Based on these evaluations, the best paper or poster in each session is selected.

Associate Professor Andrew Burton’s paper, “Response of Fine Root Respiration and Root N to Soil Warming in Hardwood Forests,” was recognized as the best paper in Session 125 on General Forest, Range, and Wildland Soils.

Bowling Teams Looking for Bodies

It is a  new semester, and the FRES bowling teams are looking for new “bodies” to replace bowlers that graduated, and help the rest of us worn down by overwork and too much studying!

We have two mixed (men and women) teams bowling at the Mine Shaft on Thursday evenings starting at 7:00 p.m.

There really aren’t any “regular” team members.  Team members that bowl one week decide if they want to bowl the next week. If they don’t or can’t, we get a replacement from our team sub list.  So you can bowl whenever you want.

The cost is $12 whenever you bowl. FRES bowling is for FUN and to have a good time!  Looking at the current team members, it is obvious that bowling ability is NOT required.

For more information on joining these “finely-tuned” athletes, contact Chaz Perry, David Kossak, Lindsey Shartell, Jim Rivard, Mike Hyslop, or Marty Jurgensen.
