Research presented synced with the meeting\u2019s theme of \u201cLinking biodiversity, material cycling, and ecosystem services in a changing world.\u201d Sessions focused on how biodiversity is the foundation for many ecosystem services, how ecosystem functioning can translate into ecosystem services, and the role different dimensions of biodiversity play in developing such understanding.<\/p>\n<p>Giving back, ESA donated over $20,000 to the Sustainable Northwest Forest Program to off-set the meetings environmental footprint. The organization\u2019s mission brings people, ideas, and innovation together so nature, local economies, and rural communities can thrive. They are strategically restoring over 250,000 forested acres across Oregon and Washington affected by fire suppression and seek to make Oregon\u2019s forests and rangelands resilient to the effects of climate change.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image admin_label=&#8221;AM Feature Opening Plenary Image&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.90&#8243; src=&#8221;https:\/\/esa.org\/2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Opening-Large-photo-feature.jpg&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;off&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; use_overlay=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; show_bottom_space=&#8221;on&#8221; \/][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.90&#8243; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>During the Scientific Plenary President David Lodge recognized and thanked Executive Director Katherine McCarter for her twenty years of service to ESA.

ESA hosted over 20 reporters in Portland, as well as a communications student filming a documentary and a producer for\u00a0Oregon Public Broadcasting collecting interviews for a future project. Perhaps in keeping with industry trends, few staff reporters have attended in recent years, replaced by a dedicated corp of freelance science writers. Physical copies of topical <a href=\"http:\/\/www.esa.org\/portland\/newsroom-information\/tipsheets\/\">program tips<\/a> proved popular among onsite reporters. Despite increased outreach, we observed a drop in participation from public information officers, both onsite and remotely. Press officers from the Forest Service&#8217;s Northwest Research Station, University of Georgia&#8217;s Odum School, and the LTER network had a strong presence at the meeting, however. Media attendance at field trips expanded. Freelancers mentioned greater interest in shopping feature stories than brief news stories filed on site at the meeting, and expressed high satisfaction with story leads acquired at the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.90&#8243;
