B53D:
Biogeochemical and Biophysical Impacts of Land Use Change and Disturbance: Knowledge from Multiple Methods and Scales II Posters

Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 26117

Session Description:
Disturbance alters forest biogeochemical processes across multiple scales, from minutes to millennia and stands to landscapes, often with important implications for ecosystem resilience. Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and severity of disturbances, including drought, bark beetle outbreaks, and wildfires. Anticipating the impacts of these changes requires both empirical and modeling studies that link mechanistic processes across scales. Observations from modern ecosystems and paleoecological records can be used to develop and evaluate post-disturbance dynamics and inform ecosystem and Earth system models. We seek studies that use such observations as well as modeling to study disturbance properties and their biogeochemical impacts, in the past, present, and future. We welcome research that helps answer critical questions concerning disturbance in forest ecosystems, especially those intended to improve representation in ecosystem models, at any spatial and temporal scale.
