Climate extremes and biogeochemical cycles in the terrestrial biosphere: impacts and feedbacks across scales
Editor(s): M. Reichstein, Y. Luo, J. M. Moreno, K. Guan, C. Williams, M. Bahn, and P. van Bodegom
This special issue will address the relations between climate extremes and biogeochemical cycling in terrestrial ecosystem. It will emerge from a global conference on this topic (www.bgc-extremes2013.org). Contributions regarding the following topics are welcome: ecosystem responses to climate variability and weather extremes, recovery of ecosystems after extreme events and climate related disturbance (e.g. wind-throws, fire), feedback mechanisms from the biosphere to the climate system. We welcome conceptual, observational, experimental and modeling approaches, and studies from the local to the global scale.
