All - The call for AGU Fall Meeting abstracts is now open. All abstracts must be received by Wednesday, 8 August 2012.
http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2012/scientific-program/ Please consider submitting an abstract to B049 Phenology Responses and Feedbacks to Biogeophysics, Disturbance, and Climate Change Convenors are David J Moore, University of Arizona; Steven P Norman, USDA Forest Service; Forrest M Hoffman, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and William W Walter Hargrove. Session abstract: "Phenology is a science that integrates climatology, ecosystem and land surface function, and community ecology. Despite persistent geographic patterns in life cycle events, predicting their timing remains a challenge. Alterations of plant and animal phenologies may be indicators of changes in seasonality (e.g., daylength, insolation, temperature/moisture thresholds or accumulations), species migrations or range shifts, ecosystem disturbances, extreme events, or climate change. How do such biogeophysical changes affect the timing of life cycle events and what are the ecological feedbacks between phenology, biogeophysical factors, disturbance, climate change, and species interactions?" Hope to see you there! Jake Jake F.
