Dear Colleagues,
We would like to bring our AGU session (B070) to your attention. If you
have done research on soil carbon dynamics and/or impacts of land use
and management on soil carbon recently, please consider to submit an
abstract to our session.
*Session ID:* 48363
*Session Title:* B070. Soil carbon dynamics and impacts of land use and
management
*Section/Focus Group:* Biogeosciences

Session Description:
Soils act as both sources and sinks for the atmospheric CO2 and thus
play an important role in the global carbon cycle. On the one hand, soil
can accumulate and store a large amount of organic (SOC) and inorganic
carbon (SIC). On the other hand, SOC is subject to decomposition and SIC
to dissolution, which produces CO2 that may be released into the
atmosphere. However, our understanding is limited in terms of the
transformation/transfer of various carbon pools. Land use and management
can alter soil physical and chemical conditions, which affects the
carbon cycling in soil profile. This session provides a forum for
discussions of the following topics: (1) dynamics of various soil carbon
pools/stocks under different land uses and managements, and (2)
transformation/transfer of SOC, SIC and other carbon forms in major
terrestrial ecosystems over different time scales. Both observation and
modeling studies are welcome.
Primary Convener: Xiujun Wang, Beijing Normal University
Conveners: Jingfeng Xiao, University of New Hampshire
Xiaohong Tian, Northwest A&F University
Yiping Wu, Xi'an Jiaotong University
The deadline for abstract submission is August 1, 2018. We look forward
to meeting you at AGU.
