Abstract
The respiration working group conducted nine discussions. Each was led by a working group member after presenting his recent ideas and results. The discussions focused on topics that facilitated achieving the following objectives:
-
1.
to develop a fundamental definition of respiration that is accurate and descriptive at all levels of biological organization.
-
2.
to review the limitations and strengths of current methods of measuring respiration.
-
3.
to identify areas for the potential application of new technology.
-
4.
to identify “user interest” in respiration measurements (i.e., the modeling community) and how dimensions, time-scale, and space -scale effects the “usefulness” of a respiration measurement.
-
5.
to determine the feasibility of developing a unifying model of respiration that can be applied to different organisms, communities, and ecosystems.
-
6.
to assess the compatibility of the results of respiration studies with the results of other process studies.
-
7.
to summarize the state of knowledge of respiration, to identify the limitations of that knowledge, and to recommend research for the next decade.
