LUQ 5 researchers: new members indicated with an N suffix, Executive Committee indicated with an EC suffix. Core areas are: pattern & control of primary production (1); spatial & temporal distribution of populations (2); pattern & control of organic matter accumulation (3); inorganic inputs & movements (4); and disturbances (5). See LUQ Proposals's page. LUQ LTER V contains the Hypothesis in this table
