GC51C:
Energy and Ecosystems Posters


Session ID#: 8351

Session Description:
Provisioning of energy, in the context rising demand and climate change, is one of the grandest challenges the world faces. Energy production has implications for terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and, given the multiple essential services ecosystems provide (including food production and climate regulation), it is critical that the implications for ecosystems are understood. Further, beneficial synergies should be explored and maximised; this is especially pertinent for renewable energy technologies given their unprecedented growth rates, low energy densities and opportunities for multiple land uses.

We welcome submissions from across disciplines and energy technologies that use theoretical, modelling or field approaches to: (1) resolve the effects of energy production on ecosystems, (2) quantify the impact on the delivery of other ecosystem services, (3) detail potential synergistic and antagonistic effects of energy production on other ecosystem services, (4) compare the relative impacts of different energy types on ecosystems service delivery.
