We invite you to submit an abstract to the following AGU (Dec. 2012) session:
Measurement and modeling of N2O fluxes and the coupling with CO2 and CH4 fluxes Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a powerful greenhouse gas but its global emissions from natural ecosystems, agroecosystems, and urban ecosystems are uncertain. N2O is a product of both nitrification and denitrification processes in soil. There is an emergent need to advance our ability to measure and model N2O fluxes and the coupling with CO2 and CH4 fluxes. A significant knowledge gap in the ratios of N2O/N2 and N2O/NOx fluxes needs to be filled. This session aims to bring together ecologists, biogeochemists and biometeorologists who use recently developed technologies to measure and model N2O fluxes from various ecosystems based on eddy-covariance and chamber-based methods and simulation models. Conveners: Jianwu Tang Marine Biological Laboratory jt...@mbl.edu Peter Groffman Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies groffm...@caryinstitute.org The abstract submission deadline is 8 August 2012.
