GC33C:
Toward Better Understanding of the Impacts of Climate Variability: From Ecosystem Processes to Agricultural Adaptation and Decision II Posters

Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 27016

Session Description:
Climate variability (CV) is a critical driver of year-to-year impacts on both managed and unmanaged ecosystems. To properly understand its ecological impacts, it’s necessary to quantify how ecosystems have historically responded to climate variability, and to characterize the uncertainty in projected impacts. In agricultural systems, assessing impacts of climate variability also requires understanding dynamics of farmer adaptation and decision-making. Here we seek new efforts to quantify both historical and future impacts of CV on unmanaged ecosystems and agriculture, the most extensive managed ecosystem: i) empirical/process-based methods for estimating CV impacts to ecosystems across multiple spatio-temporal scales; ii) identifying key sources of CV and methodological factors leading to uncertainty and their related impacts; iii) new CV forecasting methods at relevant scales for understanding ecosystem response; iv) translating forecasts into useful decision support for natural resource managers and farmers; v) attributing farmer responses to CV with respect to socioeconomic and ecological circumstances.
