Letterwoman

Word of the day:
podzolization - Iron and aluminum and organic matter leaching from a specific layer of soil (A/E) to a specific deeper layer of soil (B)

I flipped through my notes just now and copied down the (commonly used) acronyms. These are they:
NEE, NEP, NPP, GPP, R, NDVI, TCBA, AGWI, AGWB, CWD, Q10, Ps, Rp, Rr, Ra, Rh, Rd, DOC, DON, ON, DIC, DIN, SOM, OM, MRT, PDB, FACE, O, A, E, B, C, CUP, NIR, TBCF, BCF, PAR, APAR, AET, TSR, EM, ECM, AM, VPD, LAI, T, E, ITCZ, GHG, cV, AN, TBGC, AL, PLFA, HPLC, GC, HBEF, HFEMS, WHRC, REDD, IRGA, LiCOR, P-M, M-M, CEC, AAC, CUE, NUE, WUE, LUE, TLF, C-C, PFT, IBIS-2, CENTURY, GSL, ED, DBH, HATS, LATS
and that's not including any molecules.

Every discipline makes up its own vocabulary, but this one makes up it's own texting-worthy shorthand. Good for EBE, GE, and ES.
