Session Proposal: The Agriculture-Atmosphere Nexus: Agriculture, Air Quality, Nitrogen Cycle, and Climate Connections (AGU25)

A095
The Agriculture-Atmosphere Nexus: Agriculture, Air Quality, Nitrogen Cycle, and Climate Connections

Session ID#: 251581

Session Description:
Agriculture lies at the nexus of environmental sustainability, food security, and atmospheric change. As both a driver of and responder to shifts in atmospheric composition and climate, agricultural systems influence emissions of reactive nitrogen and greenhouse gases, alter land-atmosphere interactions, and reshape the cycling of carbon, nitrogen, water, and energy. In turn, agriculture is increasingly impacted by climate-induced stressors—rising temperatures, extreme weather, altered precipitation and radiation, and phytotoxic air pollutants such as ozone and aerosols.This session invites interdisciplinary research on the dynamic agriculture-atmosphere feedbacks across scales—from process-level studies to global biogeochemical cycles. We welcome submissions that investigate emissions, deposition, and transport of gases such as NOx, NH₃, N₂O, CO₂, and CH₄; subsequent aerosol and cloud formation; and the implications for air quality, ecosystem health, and climate. Contributions may include field/laboratory measurements, remote sensing analyses, model simulations, emissions inventory validation, and integrative studies exploring socio-economic, policy, and environmental outcomes.
