Organizers announce the availability of WinterNet, a virtual network
established to facilitate communication between researchers interested
in the impacts of winter change on arctic and alpine ecosystems, plant
and soil responses, and consequences for biogeochemical cycling.

WinterNet will facilitate communication and interaction within this
community by providing a moderated email, to which members can post
news, a list of members with links to their home pages, a news page, and
updated bibliography of member publications.
