Biogeochemical Cycling in the Critical Zone: From Genomes to Ecosystems

Session ID#: 162122

Session Description:
Improved understanding of Earth’s critical zone, from the plant canopy through the soil profile to the bedrock  (including air-water-soil interactions), requires research that integrates modeling, experiments across scales, and ecological informatics to better predict the transformations of carbon, nutrients and contaminants. Plant and microbial traits quantified by sensing and multi-omics capabilities should enable data-model integration to better understand community assembly and response to environmental perturbations. However, bridging the temporal and spatial scales at which trait datasets are collected to scales at which biogeochemical cycles occur remains a challenge. We invite contributions from researchers that compile plant and microbial functional trait data, develop statistical and process-based models, and integrate empirical- and model-derived data streams into broader hydrological, biogeochemical and ecological modeling frameworks. We will discuss how multi-omics or remote-sensing of soil and subsurface microbiomes coupled with vegetation, hydrology, nutrients, and energy can provide insight on element cycling in the critical zone.
