Dear colleagues, We encourage you to submit an abstract to our organized AGU session, "N2O emissions as a component of carbon and nitrogen cycles: processes, measurement, and modeling" (session #3738).
Session Description: Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a powerful greenhouse gas but its global emissions from natural ecosystems, agroecosystems, and urban ecosystems are uncertain. N2O is a product of both nitrification and denitrification processes in soil. There is an emergent need to advance our ability to measure and model N2O fluxes and the underlying mechanism that is critically important in the carbon and nitrogen cycles. This session aims to bring together ecologists, biogeochemists and biometeorologists who use recently developed technologies to measure and model N2O fluxes and the linkage with CO2 and CH4 fluxes from various ecosystems based on eddy-covariance and chamber-based methods and simulation models. Abstract submissions are due on August 6, 2014 at 23:59 EDT at the following website: http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2014/scientific-program/ We are looking forward to your contribution. Conveners: Jianwu Tang, The Ecosystems Center, MBL. [email protected] Peter Groffman, Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies. [email protected] Rebecca Ryals, Brown University/MBL. [email protected]
