Thirty members (PIs, grad students and post-docs) from 19 institutions, representing 25 sites across 10 countries attended the workshop, including from newly established sites in Argentina, Ecuador, Florida, and Portugal.

The formal agenda was kept to a minimum but included:

• E. Borer presented “The state of the Network” and the state of Nutrient Network science. [ppt below]
• E. Lind summarized the state of the data including new datasets [pdf below]
• A science "lightning round" where PIs leading manuscripts could quickly summarize their progress and most recent findings [pdf below]
• The Business meeting covered topics from the NutNet self-survey results, to the latest on authorship, to possibilities for future NutNet experiments.

The focus of the workshop was on making progress on manuscripts including:

• contingency in global invasions

• nutrient effects on productivity and niche dimensionality

• top-down bottom-up experimental results

• compositional change (beta-diversity)

• global grassland soil nutrient and structure profiles

• stability and functionality

• functional group responses to eutrophication

• influence of grazing and agricultural site history

• ... and more!
