Dear colleagues, At the next EGU meeting, Vienna 17-22 April 2016, we will have a special session which we hope will be of interest to you. The session is entitled “Nitrogen cycling in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems under global change”. Please feel free to distribute this message to potentially interested colleagues and co-workers. Abstract deadline is 13 January 2016. Sorry for any cross-posting. We are looking forward to meeting you in Vienna.
Best regards, Sari Juutinen, University of Helsinki, Finland ([email protected]) Julie Talbot, University of Montreal, Canada ([email protected]) Tuula Larmola, Natural Resources Institute Finland ([email protected]) Nitrogen cycling in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems under global change Anthropogenic disturbance of the nitrogen (N) cycle has more than doubled the amount of reactive N circulating in the biosphere. Global change impacts the N cycle via increased levels of N deposition, land use and changes in global or regional climate. This session seeks to improve our understanding on how global changes impact N biogeochemistry in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and what feedbacks from N cycling will be most important in influencing the climate. We invite presentations on all aspects of ecosystem N cycling, especially on ecosystem dynamics and functioning, interactions with other element cycles (e.g., carbon, phosphorus), terrestrial-aquatic linkages, and feedbacks to global change (increased greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity loss, air and water pollution). We welcome contributions using observational, experimental, and modeling approaches, from local to global scales.
