Upcoming Joint ESA/AGU Session at AGU:
Incorporating Process Level Measurements of N Cycling Into Global Scale Models of Terrestrial C Storage in Response to Climate Change
Session B13 at the Fall AGU meeting in San Francisco (December 15-19, 2008)

Abstract: The availability of N limits terrestrial productivity, yet N limitation is rarely included in global-scale analysis of biosphere-atmosphere exchanges of CO2. The objective of this session is to explore the interactions between rising atmospheric CO2, N limitation and climate change and their impact on terrestrial C cycling and storage. This session will bring together scientists working at different spatial and temporal scales of analysis, from ground-based observations of primary production and N cycling to the application of remote sensing tools and global-scale coupled climate-carbon cycling models. Through the discussion of available data and models we hope to facilitate the development of a new generation of global scale models that explicitly treat N cycling and limitation when predicting the terrestrial C sink through the 21st century.
