Dear Colleague,
Less than one week remains for AGU Fall Meeting abstract submissions!
Please consider submitting one for this session, which will feature the
following invited speakers.
*** Invited Speakers ***
* Julio Betancourt (U.S. Geological Survey, USA)
* Ben Cook (NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, USA)
* Andy Richardson (Harvard University, USA)
* Elizabeth Wolcovich (University of California - San Diego, USA)
We are writing to call your attention to a special session at the AGU
Fall Meeting titled, "Phenology Responses and Feedbacks to
Biogeophysics, Disturbance, and Climate Change". Please consider
submitting a contributed abstract to this session. The deadline for
abstract submissions is August 8, 2012. See

B049: Phenology Responses and Feedbacks to Biogeophysics,
Disturbance, and Climate Change
Co-conveners: David J. Moore, Steven P. Norman, Forrest M. Hoffman,
and William W. Hargrove
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?

Please feel free to forward this note to others who might be interested.
We hope to see you in San Francisco in December!
Dave, Steve, Forrest, and Bill
