Soils in the Anthropocene: New Insights Across Space and Time

Session ID#: 161827

Session Description:
Soil organic matter (SOM) is a critical ecosystem property regulated by complex physical, chemical, and biological interactions across scales. Better constraints on SOM pools and fluxes are required to advance understanding of how global change will influence the carbon (C) cycle. It is now possible to leverage ‘big data’ soil resources to uncover emergent properties of SOM across broader spatio-temporal scales (including deep soil). This session focuses on research findings from long-term soil experiments, multi-site coordinated data collection efforts, synthesis projects and dataset creation, chronosequences, and large-scale modeling. Studies with a focus on these broad scales that integrate multidisciplinary approaches, such as microbial -omics, new soil sensors, or remote sensing observations, are welcome, as is research that advances our theoretical understanding of soil C at macrosystems scales.
