ubject: AGU-2016 session "Land use decisions and biogeochemical processes"
Dear Colleagues, Please consider submitting your work to the following session at the upcoming AGU Fall Meeting. Abstracts are due on_August 3rd_. B047:*Land use decisions and biogeochemical processes* <https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm16/preliminaryview.cgi/Session13117> (ID# 13117) *Invited and confirmed speakers:* - Lucy Hutyra (Boston University) - Randy Wynne (Virginia Tech) *Session Description:*Agricultural and managed forest landscapes can greatly affect atmospheric greenhouse gas exchange, nutrient runoff, and water dynamics. From local to global scales, biogeochemical cycles are intricately linked to management and land-use decisions that intentionally alter plant interspecific or intraspecific genetic composition, site fertility, water-flow, and disturbance regimes. The choices made among management options are also, in turn, sensitive to economic conditions or government interventions as these respond to external drivers (e.g. climate change). Submissions are encouraged that use any approach (empirical or modeling) and scale (plot to global) to link a land use management decision to a biogeochemical outcome. Researchers investigating linkages between societal drivers and biogeochemical process are also encouraged to submit. *Organizers:* Jason G Vogel (U Florida), Asko Noormets (NC State U), Quinn Thomas (Virginia Tech), Lisa Samuelson (Auburn U) -- Asko Noormets Research Associate Professor Dept.
