Dear colleagues, We are excited to organize a session at AGU 2017 in New Orleans:
Vegetation canopies: physiology, structure, function (B081) Session ID#: 25451 In this session, we will focus on vegetation canopy processes, and explore the relative roles of leaf physiology, phenology, microclimate, and canopy structure in determining ecosystem states, traits, and rates. We are particularly interested in studies that use novel approaches to examine changes in canopy form and function, particularly those that bridge traditional boundaries with new theory, observations, and models. We encourage submissions of studies merging field and experimental observations, with both near- surface and remote sensing techniques. We also encourage empirical and modeling studies examining canopy processes across scales, from seconds to decades and from the leaf to the globe. Abstract Submission Deadline: 26 July (late submission: 2 August) Please consider submitting your work (here). Looking forward to a great AGU meeting!
