Hot Spots and Hot Moments Revisited: Accounting for Intermittent Events, Temporal Rhythms and Habitat Variability across Large-Scale Coastal Ecosystem Functioning.
Session ID#: 258502
Session Description:
To understand whole-ecosystem biogeochemical and ecological processes on larger spatial and temporal scales, the role of individual subsystems and events as influencing factors needs to be constrained. Although focus has now shifted to these habitats and temporal variabilities, the problem arises where the impacts of climate change and anthropogenic disturbance are not distributed equally across spatio-temporal scales. Moreover, climatic and anthropogenic impacts are becoming more intensive and erratic, but the disproportionate effects of hot spots and hot moments on estimates of ecosystems functionality at scale remains unclear. Since the work of McClain et al., 2003 and those following, how much better do we understand hot spots and hot moments in coastal ecosystem functioning as we continue into an unprecedented era of climatic and anthropogenic disturbances?
We invite presentations touching on topics ranging from the impacts of intermittent (i.e. storm-driven, harmful algal bloom, etc.), short- (e.g. diurnal, tidal, etc.) and long-term (i.e. seasonal, annual, etc.) variations on carbon and nitrogen cycling, discussions on the integration of accounting techniques on heterogenous coastal systems. This session serves as an opportunity to spotlight hot spots and moments as well as novel methodology for integrating case studies into our broader understanding of coastal ecosystem functioning.
