Session Description:
Tropical forests comprise the most biologically diverse terrestrial ecosystems, cycle more carbon and water than any other biome, and play critical roles in determining Earth’s energy balance. Thus a better understanding of tropical forest processes is required to develop improved Earth System Models (ESMs). Improving representation of these processes in ESMs requires a tight coupling of model development and process-based field and lab investigations. This session will focus on research in tropical forests from an Earth system perspective including both modeling and measurement results. Processes to be highlighted include the response of tropical forests to moisture deficits and drought, elevated temperatures, and changing disturbance/demographic rates, including the role of biodiversity and belowground biogeochemistry in modulating these processes. Of particular interest are contributions that explore El Niño impacts on tropical forest ecohydrology and carbon cycle responses.
