<p class="MsoNormal">B036 “Diving into our conceptual and operational view of soil carbon pools”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Session Description:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Terrestrial carbon (C) dynamics and the fate of the soil C reservoir have emerged as a primary source of uncertainty in Earth system models. In order to quantify and predict soil C storage, stability, and susceptibility to disturbance,
a process-level understanding of physical, chemical, and biological mechanisms of soil C stabilization needs to be integrated with terrestrial C cycle models. The USGS Powell Center Working Group on Soil C Stabilization seeks contributions aimed at better
understanding the distribution of soil C, particularly as it relates to the diverse mechanisms of stabilization. In particular, we encourage submissions targeting: (1) spatial patterns in the distribution of C in various soil fractions; (2) applications of
methods to assess soil C stability; (3) novel modeling techniques to incorporate various soil C fractions; and (4) identification of knowledge gaps that hinder model-data fusion.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am making you aware of this opportunity to represent LUQ science at the next AGU meeting. I think we could submit a joint presentation based on our well-received symposium on the 2015 drought at the annual meeting. But, first I'd like
to hear from individual researchers on their plans for the meeting. Let us know what you think you might submit and then we can plan from there.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Tropical forests comprise the most biologically diverse terrestrial ecosystems, cycle more carbon and water than any other biome, and play critical roles in determining
Earth’s energy balance. Thus a better understanding of tropical forest processes is required to develop improved Earth System Models (ESMs). Improving representation of these processes in ESMs requires a tight coupling of model development and process-based
field and lab investigations. This session will focus on research in tropical forests from an Earth system perspective including both modeling and measurement results. Processes to be highlighted include the response of tropical forests to moisture deficits
and drought, elevated temperatures, and changing disturbance/demographic rates, including the role of biodiversity and belowground biogeochemistry in modulating these processes. Of particular interest are contributions that explore El Niño impacts on tropical
forest ecohydrology and carbon cycle responses.</span><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
