High Latitude Terrestrial and Freshwater Ecosystems: Interactions and
Response to Environmental Change, a workshop on high latitude ecology
and biogeochemistry, will be held on 11-14 September 2007 in Abisko,
Sweden.
The workshop focuses on interactions between terrestrial and aquatic
ecosystems from a catchment-scale perspective and the impacts of
environmental change. High latitude freshwater ecosystems are generally
heavily subsidized by input of organic carbon and inorganic nutrients
from surrounding terrestrial ecosystems, and impact of environmental
change on terrestrial components will have marked effects on the
productivity and function of aquatic ecosystems.
Workshop topics include:
- functionality of terrestrial ecosystems and implications for carbon
and nutrient loss;
- productivity and function of aquatic ecosystems in relation to
catchment characteristics and climate;
- catchment carbon balances: integrating terrestrial and aquatic
systems; and
- environmental change and related effects in high latitude ecosystems.
Abstracts for oral and poster presentations (maximum 250 words) should
be sent no later than Monday, 30 April 2007, to:
E-mail: emg-workshopabisko2007 [at] lists.umu.se
The workshop is hosted by the Climate Impacts Research Centre, Lake
Ecosystem Response to Environmental Change, and Environmental Baselines,
Processes, Changes, and Impacts on People in Sub-Arctic Sweden and the
Nordic Arctic Regions (an IPY-endorsed project coordinated by the Abisko
Scientific Research Station).
