Dear fellow wetland enthusiasts, We are excited to announce our Session B014 Carbon cycling in coastal wetlands: from micro to macroscale at this years American Geophysical Union annual Fall meeting in San Francisco (December 9th-13th). The abstract deadline is August 6, 2013 at 23:59 EDT. We look forward to seeing you in December!
Sincerely, Susanna Theroux, DOE Joint Genome Institute, [email protected] Susannah Tringe, DOE Joint Genome Institute, [email protected] Wyatt Hartman, DOE Joint Genome Institute, [email protected] Lisamarie Windham-Myers, U.S. Geological Survey, [email protected] B014 Description: The biotic and abiotic dynamics of carbon cycling in coastal wetlands are vastly understudied compared to terrestrial and marine ecosystems, resulting in large uncertainties in wetland carbon storage capacity. Climate change and land use conversion introduce additional uncertainties in quantifying the response of these fragile ecosystems to rising sea levels, higher salinities and altered nutrient profiles. This session will serve as a forum to unite researchers examining microbially-mediated carbon cycling in coastal wetlands in an effort to define predictors of belowground storage vs. atmospheric release. Presentations on wetland response to climate change and restoration, at various temporal and spatial scales, are encouraged. http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/scientific-program/session-search/sessions/b014-carbon- cycling-in-coastal-wetlands-from-micro-to-macroscale-2/ Section/Focus Group: Biogeosciences (B) Co-Sponsors: Global Environmental Change (GC) Ocean Sciences (OS) Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology (PP
