We invite abstracts to our session B071 “Soil organic carbon: mechanisms of stabilization and change in the Anthropocene ” at the AGU Fall 2018.
Meeting. This session will focus on empirical and modeling studies of soils and carbon: storage potential, mechanisms of stabilization/ destabilization/ long term storage, and ecosystem vulnerability. Isotopic, geochemical, spectroscopic novel techniques that probe deeper into the fate of organic matter across spatial and temporal scales are especially encouraged. Confirmed (Invited) Speakers: Will Wieder, NCAR, Boulder, CO Stuart Grandy, University of New Hampshire, New Hampshire The deadline for abstract submission is Wednesday, 1 August 2018.
