This Inspire Session focuses on the Plant Science Research Network (PSRN) and one of its key products, the 2020-2030 Plant Science Decadal Vision. The PSRN was established in August 2015 through the support of an NSF Research Coordination Network award to the Boyce Thompson Institute and the American Society of Plant Biologists; the Ecological Society of America is one of PSRN’s 15 member organizations. PSRN promotes the plant sciences through community-building and encouraging collaboration among subdisciplines. Through its Plant Summits, PSRN also developed a consensus-based research agenda, part of its Plant Science Decadal Vision. Because the Decadal Vision drew on all organizational levels of the plant sciences from the genomic to the global, ecologists, systematists, and evolutionary biologists played critical roles in its development. We offer attendees an overview of the PSRN and its development of the Decadal Vision, followed by presentations focusing on building public interest in plant systems, engaging a generation of citizen plant scientists, and supporting a diverse and adaptive scientific workforce. We also present examples of the broad palette of the Decadal Vision’s research agenda, including supporting biodiversity for planetary resilience, sustainable plant production systems, promotion of human nutrition, health, and well-being, emerging and disruptive technologies (including the transparent plant), and data stewardship. Attendees will depart with a clear understanding of the PSRN’s activities, the scope of the Decadal Vision, and its relevance to the promotion of ecological science.
