Terrestrial and Aquatic Linkages and Coastal Ecosystem Function and Dynamics as a Response to Climate Change and Disturbance

Session ID#: 160931

Session Description:
Coastal environments are undergoing rapid change as climate warms and increases the frequency of disturbances such as storms, drought, wildfires, permafrost thaw, erosion, and flooding. This is occurring amidst more direct anthropogenic impacts due to increased management and development of coastal ecosystems. The structure, function, and dynamics of coastal margins are inevitably affected in a number of interrelated ways including aboveground, surficial, and belowground linkages at varying spatial and temporal scales. Understanding the patterns of change across the coastal interface and the drivers are crucial in identifying trajectories of change. Presentations are invited that aim to improve our understanding of linkages between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and changes in coastal ecosystem structure and function in the face of climate change. We encourage contributions that utilize remote sensing, in-situ observations, mechanistic models and/or process-level experiments on mechanisms and drivers highlighting terrestrial-aquatic linkages and coastal change at multiple spatial and temporal scales.
