Final Call Abstract submission deadline: Friday, December 16, 2011
We invite abstracts for an organized session entitled "Patterns and Drivers of Carbon Storage in Peatlands" at the 2012 INTECOL-SWS Joint Meeting (June 3-8, 2012) in Orlando, FL. The objective of this session is to highlight recent research on the drivers, processes, and magnitude of carbon storage in wetland ecosystems, with the intent of bringing together researchers in natural resource and land management and academic climate change and carbon cycling as well as policymakers. Empirical studies and integrative models examining the effects of ecology, hydrology, biogeochemistry, and resource management on peatland carbon cycling are invited, with the goal of bringing together scientific and management communities. Submissions presenting novel findings on carbon exchange processes or climate change impacts on peatland carbon balance are particularly encouraged. Feel free to contact the session organizers Brian Benscoter (bbens...@fau.edu<mailto:bbens...@fau.edu>) or Tiffany Troxler (troxl...@fiu.edu<mailto:troxl...@fiu.edu>) for more information on the session or visit the conference website (http://conference.ifas.ufl.edu/INTECOL/) for information on the conference and instructions for abstract submission. ************** Brian W.
