Dear Colleagues, We are announcing a session on coupled biogeochemical cycles in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems for the Fall American Geophysical Union Meeting (December 5-9, 2011, San Francisco, CA). We encourage you to attend the meeting and submit an abstract to the following session:
Biogeosciences B - Session B26: Coupled Biogeochemical Cycles in Terrestrial and Aquatic Ecosystems The dynamics of major elements (N, P, S, Fe, C), trace elements (Hg, Pb), and greenhouse gases (GHG) (N2O, CO2, CH4) are coupled across scales through complex redox dependant processes. Understanding the interactions that occur on multiple spatial and temporal scales between these elements/compounds is paramount to the challenge of sustaining human and environmental health. We encourage contributions investigating the fate, transport and interactions of two or more major elements, trace elements or GHG across a range of spatial and temporal scales. The goal of this session is to broaden our view of processes influencing elemental cycling across ecosystems to seek out commonalities that might inform management strategies for anthropogenic environmental problems.
