- Brendan M: Which is oddly enough near Chapel Hill...

- Moderator: What's that?

- Moderator: What is CO2 X soil nutrient enrichment

- Brendan M: Both

- Brendan M: Some rings do co2, some do soil nutrients, and some do both

- Brendan M: They are designated by orange rings on the map

- Moderator: By nutrients do we mean CO2?

- Brendan M: No, ammonium nitrate

- Brendan M: In the soil there, nitrogen is one of the main limiting factors

- Moderator: What is Forest Structure?

- Moderator: How does that related to forest physiology?

- Brendan M: canopy, sub canopy, ground level, roots, etc

- Brendan M: physiology is inside a single tree, like how the c02 affects the insides of the roots or something

- Brendan M: the structure concerns the overall forest shape

- Brendan M: my turn

- Sudarshan Mohan: yup
