Dear Tundra Flora & Fauna Enthusiasts, Please consider submitting abstracts for talks and posters to the "Multi-trophic level response to climate change in the Arctic tundra ecosystem" Session (Session ID: B55) at the Fall AGU meeting, 5-9 December 2011 in San Francisco.
Session Description: Evidence accumulating from many disciplines shows that the Arctic is currently undergoing a warming trend and multiple models predict this warming will continue. As highlighted by the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment (ACIA), climate change responses across trophic levels are understudied in Arctic systems compared to in others. We welcome studies that consider the cascade of changes that are triggered, either directly or indirectly, by Arctic warming. In particular, we encourage studies focused on the impact of changing seasonality on cross-trophic level dynamics. Empirical studies based on field observations and experiments, as well as those based in either terrestrial or aquatic habitats are all welcome. Note that abstracts can be submitted now and the deadline for all submissions is 4 August 23:59 EDT/03:59 +1 GMT. Please do share this announcement with your colleagues, and feel free to contact Natalie ([email protected]) if you have any questions. Sincerely, Natalie Boelman & Eric Post Natalie T.
