[ECOLOG-L] AGU B083: The Role of Microbes in Terrestrial Biogeochemical Cycles: Linking Responses to Ecosystem Processes and Environmental Change

[Noelle Espinosa]

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you, a group you represent, or others in your
network to submit an abstract to our AGU session (B083):
"The Role of Microbes in Biogeochemical Cycles: Linking Responses to
Ecosystem Processes and Environmental Change"

This session focuses on exploring cross-disciplinary approaches to
understanding microbe-mediated processes in large-scale ecosystem context
(see the complete session description below).

#51705: The Role of Microbes in Terrestrial Biogeochemical Cycles: Linking
Responses to Ecosystem Processes and Environmental Change


Session Description: Microbes play critical roles regulating terrestrial
biogeochemical cycles. Linking processes controlling nutrient transformation
and storage with disturbance responses and feedbacks to climate change is a
global research priority. Studies that integrate biogeochemical approaches
focused on nutrient pools and fluxes with microbial ecology approaches
examining community physiology, traits, and structure reveal the complexity
of interactions influencing ecosystem responses. How do individual microbial
traits influence community stability and response to disturbances? How does
microbial community structure change across gradients and influence
vegetation dynamics? How can we use this information to predict large-scale
fluctuations in soil carbon and nutrient storage? Although advances in
molecular and genetic tools are improving our understanding of how microbial
processes influence ecosystems, questions surrounding the level of detail
appropriate to best predict environmental response to change remain. We
invite cross-disciplinary studies that investigate microbial-driven
responses along environmental gradients, to disturbance, and/or in the
context of climate change.



Primary Convener: Dawson Fairbanks, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA
Co- Convener: Martha Gehardt (University of Arizona), Noelle Espinosa
(University of Arizona), Rachel Gallery (University of Arizona)

Abstract submission deadline: August 1, 2018 11:59 P.M. ET

Looking forward to seeing you at AGU
