Future agricultural sustainability and food security depend on climate-resilient and diverse agroecosystems, and consideration of stressors (e.g. biophysical, socio-economic) operating at multiple scales (e.g. local, regional, global). Climate shocks and chronic impacts from land use and climate changes threaten the structure, functioning and productivity of agroecosystems. This session focuses on two pathways: the impacts of agroecosystems on climate change and, conversely, the impacts of climate change on agroecosystems. This session invites presentations that further our understanding of (i) climate change impacts on the biophysical and biogeochemical functioning of agroecosystems; (ii) interactions between ecological, socioeconomic and institutional system components that may increase or impair resilience, and/or (iii) potential adaptation and mitigation opportunities for enhancing ecological, social and economic resilience within agroecosystems. We consider the role agroecosystems play in addressing the climate crisis, as well as adaptation and mitigation opportunities to foster resilience against abrupt or prolonged impacts of a changing climate.
