Session ID#: 23234
Session Description:
Extreme weather events are increasingly becoming a concern due to their abrupt impacts on ecosystem function. Short-term extreme weather events like heat waves, droughts, ice storms, or sudden freeze events can profoundly impact terrestrial plants and ecosystem functions by pushing co-occurring plant species beyond critical response thresholds, leading to novel species assemblages and altered biogeochemical or hydrological cycling. Current land surface models perform poorly in simulating ecological impacts of extreme weather events based in part on limited understanding of mechanistic processes during and after such events. We invite presentations that highlight and advance knowledge of plant responses to extreme weather events. Observational and experimental laboratory, mesocosm or field based studies, modeling from field to Earth system scales, and integrated multidisciplinary approaches are welcome. Talks will explore the current state of knowledge, identify physiological knowledge gaps, inspire advanced experimental and modeling approaches, and stimulate discussion on future research directions.
