99 Soil Biology & Biochemistry Graduate Student Poster Competition

Poster Session
S03 Soil Biology & Biochemistry
This Graduate Student Poster Competition. is sponsored by S03 Division of Soil Biology and Biochemistry. The awards are cash prizes of $300, $200, and $100 given for first, second and third place winners. Posters are judged based on the quality of presentation, originality and importance, and interpretation of experimental results. Competition winners are announced at the Francis Clark lectures.
