Please check here for updates over the next several months. We will be adding several valuable resources and links to methods and protocols for commonly used techniques belowground.
Databases
An important aspect regarding the success and utility of RhizoNet will depend on the commitment of collaborators to share and exchange data. While this shared data is may not be published without express consent of the research group originally responsible for collecting the data, all collaborators should be able to see and work with data across site. This will help to further encourage exchanges of ideas, new research concepts, and enable the emergence of new understanding from broader site and data comparisons. To facilitate this process RhizoNet should eventually house its own database for collaborators. In the meantime, we strongly recommend researches to contribute to currently available databases (see below). Contributions to these and other databases have to potential to increase the visibility of our individual research efforts and to greatly advance our understanding of broad ecological patterns.
