Dear Colleagues, We are hosting a session at the December 9 through 13, 2013 American Geophysical Union meeting on forest recovery from disturbance. Please consider submitting an abstract.
Sincerely, Mark Green (on behalf of Nobu Ohte and Tomoki Oda) Hydrological And Biogeochemical Recovery in Forests after Disturbance While the hydrological and biogeochemical response of forested catchments to disturbance is well-documented, the general patterns and driving mechanisms for recovery time remains under-studied. Predicting the resilience of forested catchments to all types of disturbance is fundamental to efficient forest management. Thus, this session will explore our current understanding of forested catchment recovery after disturbance. Topics of interest include methods for quantifying recovery, field and modeling studies of recovery mechanisms, and cross-site comparisons. The session will be a forum to share new insight into the recovery of forest hydrological and biogeochemical function after disturbance. Session Conveners Nobuhito Ohte, University of Tokyo Mark Green, Plymouth State University and U.S. Forest Service Tomoki Oda, University of Tokyo
