OP2016 Welcome Letter
Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to the Lake District. As I write this, it is Tuesday before the meeting and there is an excited
anticipation in the air, as I know you will be starting to make plans to start your journey to northern
England. It is going to be a great pleasure to welcome you and we are planning and hoping that you will
have an inspiring time.
This meeting and this topic is deeply special to me, as it reflects a something close to the core of my
intellectual interests and a personal journey. It started in the late 1980s when I was doing my PhD partly
based with Tony (AF) Harrison as one of my supervisors, at the beautiful Merlewood Research Station on
the edge of The Lake District. Although I was not primarily P focussed at this time, I became aware of the
‘blue book’ on ‘Organic Phosphorus in Soils - A review of World Literature’ published by Tony, and I am
pleased to report that Tony will be Guest of Honour at our Dinner on Thursday. Thereafter I left The
Lakes and Tony to work for 16 happy years at North Wyke (now part of Rothamsted), where my focus
turned to studying phosphorus at the interface of land and rivers. This was the time, in the mid 1990s,
when I became particularly fascinated to determine molybdate unreactive P and inositol P forms in soils
and leachate waters. I became equally as intrigued as to why so many seemed to ignore this, in favour of
inorganic phosphate?
Today I am back close to the Lake District at Lancaster University and phosphorus is perhaps more topical
and prominent on the world stage than ever before, with talk of sustainability, managing resources for
food production, as well as maintaining water quality, ecology and biodiversity. There are now quite a
few international meetings on the element and only two weeks ago I was at the international Sustainable
Phosphorus Summit in China (~500 delegates) and one of the main findings was that we need to make
better use of the vast organic P stocks that exist in the world’s soils. Is this the greatest challenge for our
Workshop…..?
So it is my great pleasure to report that despite a busy world P calendar, we had to close registrants at
100 delegates for this week and we can now focus on an inspiring week together. Bringing you to the
Lake District is special, it may not be the biggest or the best of the world’s National Parks, but it does
have a landscape that has inspired scholars before, like John Ruskin and William Wordsworth. Perhaps
we can tap into their inspiration to connect this back to our phosphorus challenges? I hope so. So it
remains for me to thank the team, especially those closest who have worked so hard, Daniel, Catherine,
Tim and Courtney, plus the wider contributors too, and of course some of the seed funding that came
from the UK BBSRC via the OPUS project team. Thanks to you all.
Oh – and those of you who use social media please use the hashtag #organicP2016 to keep things joined
up.
Here’s to an inspiring and enjoyable week!

Organic Phosphorus Workshop 2016, Organic Phosphorus in the Environment: Solutions for Phosphorus Security
Wednesday Afternoon: An ‘Inspiration Excursion’ to Grasmere, Dove Cottage
and the ‘Wordsworth Walk’
On Wednesday afternoon we will have a period of relaxation and perhaps inspiration, visiting the
Grasmere and Rydal area of the Lake District, just a 15-minute ride north of the Low Wood
Hotel. We will be travelling on two coaches and splitting into two ‘coach groups’ (nothing to do with
the Breakout Teams, it is merely for practical and organisational purposes).
The spectacular landscape of the Lake District has been a huge influence on some of England's bestknown writers. In particular, the Romantic poets of the late eighteenth and nineteenth century such
as William Wordsworth, Samuel Coleridge, Thomas de Quincey and John Ruskin were hugely
affected by their surroundings. Also many children's authors have drawn inspiration from the
landscape, such as Beatrix Potter, Arthur Ransome and even the creator of Postman Pat.
For the Phosphorus scientists, we have chosen the romantic poet William Wordsworth (1770 – 1850)
as a source of focus for your inspiration and enjoyment. Wordsworth appreciated nature the
environment and I am sure if he was with us today he would endorse our endeavors on Organic P - I
wonder if his famous “Daffodils” could utilize organic P? We have found a little way to tap into his
legacy and inspiration… (www.lakedistrict.gov.uk/visiting/localspecialities/famouswriters/wordsworth)
During the afternoon you will
•
•
Experience a guided tour of Wordsworth’s famous “Dove Cottage” hosted by the Wordsworth
Trust (wordsworth.org.uk/visit/dove-cottage.html)
Be guided on a 2 mile inspirational “Wordsworth Walk” led by international expert Prof Simon
Bainbridge of the Wordsworth Centre, taking in some of the beautiful scenery of Lakes Grasmere
and Rydal. (www.research.lancs.ac.uk/portal/en/organisations/wordsworth-centre/)
You will also have some free time for shopping and site seeing in Grasmere Village. Please being
outdoor clothing, decent footwear for off road walking and carry wet weather clothes.

Organic Phosphorus Workshop 2016, Organic Phosphorus in the Environment: Solutions for Phosphorus Security
Information for Authors of Oral or Poster Presentations
Oral presentations
The talks will be presented in plenary in the Coniston room and, with the exception of keynotes,
should be 12 minutes (approx. 12 slides) in length with 3 minutes allowed for questions. We will be
telling chairs that they must manage this strictly – if you over run you will have to stop, so please
plan to stick to time. Presenting authors should email their presentation to Daniel Blackburn
([email protected]) at least one day before their scheduled presentation.
Poster presentations
Poster Size: Recommended format is A0 size portrait oriented.
Please refer to the poster list allocating your work to a workshop thematic session and assigning a
poster number to your submitted abstract. Posters sessions will be held in two slots, Monday 5th
(18:00 - 19:00) and Thursday 8th September (12:00 - 12:30), and we kindly ask you to stand by your
poster in both sessions. The posters will be displayed on the walls of the plenary room throughout
the workshop and we will instruct you where to hang your poster on your arrival at the registration
desk.
Speed talks:
The poster presenters will also have the opportunity to give an oral 1 minute ‘elevator speech’ at the
plenary room accompanied with one ppt slide with no animations or videos. These speed talks are
only aimed to raise the interest on your work in a fun and dynamic way, and are not aimed at
presenting your findings in detail. Posters P-01 to P-11 are assigned to give their one min ‘speed talk’
on Monday 5th (at 17:00 - 17:15) and the posters P-12 to P-29 will give their one min speech on
Thursday 8th September (at 09:30 – 10:00). Please email one ppt slide of your oral speed talks before
the 1st of September to [email protected]; these slides will be assembled into one single
presentation in order to maintain the fluidity of the speed talks.

Workshop Breakout Discussions
All workshop participants will be split into one of five teams of 20 delegates and will meet
throughout the week in the Breakout Groups scheduled in the programme. Teams will be allocated
prior to the meeting and identified by colour coding of lanyards and other workshop materials.
Teams will meet in the same space throughout the week, which will be in and around the main
meeting room and indicated by the team colours. There will be an initial opportunity for teams to
get together and introduce themselves on the first day. Team leaders will work in pairs and will
facilitate the ice-breaker session and subsequent workshop elements with their specific team
For each specific session of the workshop, the expectation is that the team will debate on the
subject of the session and address a specific designated question. The ultimate aim is to deliver a
team consensus on the questions and a set of priorities for organic P research - how you get there is
ultimately up to the Team and the Team Leaders.
The outlet for this consensus statement and list of priorities will be a position review paper in
Biology Letters – which has been commissioned and will be produced by December 1st 2016. We
have negotiated unlimited author numbers, so we are happy to include anyone who contributes to
Breakout Sessions and wishes to be involved. Essentially all attendees of the workshop can claim
authorship to the paper and we will operate an opt-in policy for authorship. Team leaders will collect
information on who wants to opt-in to the authorship of the paper. The primary author for this
article will be Tim George and any clarifications can be sought from him in person or by mailing
[email protected].
We are also planning individual volunteered papers in a Special Issue of Plant and Soil, where any
participant can submit a paper related to what they present at the workshop to the Special Issue.
This will be edited by Phil Haygarth, Philippe Hinsinger and Daniel Blackburn and has a deadline of 1st
December 2016 for initial submissions. Further information can be obtained from Daniel Blackburn
or by mailing [email protected].
