Session Description:
Climate change is unfolding faster in the high northern latitudes than anywhere else on Earth. These changes are impacting ecological processes directly, through warmer temperatures and changing precipitation, and indirectly, though increasing frequency of climate-driven disturbances such as wildfire, outbreaks of pests and pathogens, and abrupt thaw of permafrost ground. Although some ecosystems are resistant or resilient to these impacts, many are shifting to new states, altering the function of the Arctic-boreal region in the Earth system. This session invites contributions in terrestrial ecology and carbon cycle science that provide conceptual, regional, or global insights into the resilience and vulnerability of the Arctic-boreal region to changing climate. Contributions may address any geographic area of this region. We welcome studies that use or integrate in situ experiments and observations with remote sensing and modeling to conceptualize, detect, predict or forecast the changing function of this region in the earth system.
