We invite you to submit an abstract to the following AGU session. We are interested in both biophysical and social responses to disturbance.
B019: Disturbance Impacts and Responses Disturbances that alter biophysical, ecohydrological, biogeochemical, and societal processes are increasing in frequency and spatial extent. For example, fire, herbivory, biomass removals, land cover changes, extreme weather, and invasive species are on the rise with climate change elevating the incidence and intensity of many disturbances. This session solicits abstracts encompassing a range of disturbance severities, spatial scales, ecosystem types, and research approaches, in order to advance broader understanding of responses to and recovery from disturbance.
