Greenhouse and Trace Gas Fluxes from Agricultural and Managed Lands

Session ID#: 280436

Session Description:
Managed landscapes are important for global change and climate change resilience solutions. The human dimensions of agriculture, forests, and urban areas offer opportunities to alleviate changes to the biosphere through enhanced carbon sequestration and greenhouse and trace gas emission management. However, challenges of increased population, economic growth, and policy goals place continued demands on these sectors. 

This session seeks submissions on the interaction of managed landscapes such as agriculture, forests, and urban areas with climate change and air pollution. Example issues could include the biogeochemical impact of fertilizer use, irrigation practices, land cover management, regenerative practices, livestock, urban landscapes, mobile and stationary power generation, and resource extraction. Contributions may be from a variety of scales including plot, field and regional perspectives. We welcome contributions that incorporate field or modeling components, research that crosses spatial and temporal scales, and seek a geographic diversity of presentations.
