Dear colleagues,
we are pleased to invite your contribution to the
session*"**Biogeochemical cycling in boreal to polar regions"*
(SSS5.15/BG1.54;
https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2019/session/31572) at the
upcoming EGU 7-12 April 2019, in Vienna.
Terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems of the boreal to polar regions face
tremendous alterations due to a fast changing climate. Besides
geophysical and hydrological impacts like vanishing permafrost, coastal
erosion and altered runoff, biogeochemical cycles are highly affected by
the ongoing changes. Although we are completely aware of the importance
of high latitude ecosystems for instance for carbon sequestration, we
have a restricted understanding of the biogeochemical processes
especially in terrestrial ecosystems. This session aims to bring
together scientists working on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems in the
high latitudes, both in Arctic, Antarctic, and Boreal regions, reaching
from microbiological functioning and stoichiometric constraints of
organic matter turnover and nutrient cycling (e.g. nitrogen, phosphorus)
to carbon stabilization and trace gas emissions. We further welcome
contributions on interactions between vegetation, microbiota and soils
and/or sediments, and the exchange between terrestrial and aquatic systems.
Let’s come to together and share results, views and concepts to better
understand biogeochemical cycling in boreal and polar regions. We are
looking forward to meet you in Vienna.
