Dear Colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention and invite you to submit an abstract to the following section at the 2015 AGU-CGU-GAC-MAC Joint Assembly to be held at Montreal, Canada between 3-7 May, 2015. Title: Biogeochemical Cycling in Wetland Ecosystems: From Observations to Modelling Session Description: Wetlands are one of the key biogeochemical hotspots in the world. Located at the interface between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, wetlands develop unique hydrological regime, soils, and plant communities. Wetlands serve important biogeochemical functions by exchanging carbon and nutrients with the surrounding environment and transforming them to different forms. While these processes often vary considerably across space and time, little is known about the variability and controls of processes involved in biogeochemical cycling. This session invites papers that address topics in relation to the biogeochemical cycling of carbon, nutrients and other chemical compounds in various types of wetland ecosystems. Both observational and modelling approaches are welcome.
