[LTER-luq] Fwd: AGU Session B087 on Tropical Forests Under a Changing Climate

[Jess Zimmerman]

Hi Folks,

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.

Dear tropical friends and colleagues,

We are pleased to let you know that NGEE-Tropics
<http://eesa.lbl.gov/ngee-tropics> will be convening an AGU session on
"Tropical Forests Under a Changing Climate" at the Fall Meeting, taking
place in San Francisco, Dec 12-16.

We welcome your abstract submissions (click here:
https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm16/preliminaryview.cgi/Session13688), which
are due by *Wednesday August 5.*

Please feel free to forward to interested colleagues.

We look forward to a very productive session!

Best regards,

  B087: Tropical forests under a changing climate

*Session ID#: *13688
Session Description:
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.
