AGU Fall meeting, San Francisco, Dec. 13-17. Abstract deadline September 2.
B11: Carbon Sequestration in the Biosphere: Biogeochemistry and Biophysics Biospheric carbon sequestration may offer significant potential in mitigating climate change through management of carbon pools in vegetation, soils, and the ocean. The efficacy of these efforts is uncertain, however, because our understanding of carbon dynamics is incomplete and ecosystem change has multiple, sometimes offsetting effects on climate, such as carbon uptake vs. albedo due to reforestation. Carbon management carries also environmental and resource concerns. This session invites contributions on 1) natural carbon dynamics relevant to sequestration strategies, 2) the potential to enhance carbon sequestration through management, and 3) evaluation of environmental and economical cost-benefit trade-offs.
