Papers are invited for a session entitled "Interactions Between Snow,
Vegetation, and the Atmosphere" at the International Union of Geodesy
and Geophysics General Assembly being held on 2-13 July 2007 in Perugia,
Italy.
Session Description:
Vegetation influences snow distribution by trapping falling and
windblown snow, and exposed vegetation canopies alter the radiative and
turbulent energy fluxes to underlying snow and the atmosphere. Snow
insulates the ground and releases water and nutrients on melt, in turn
influencing distributions of vegetation. Snow and vegetation
distributions both respond to and feedback on changing climates. For
this workshop, submissions are invited on observational and modelling
studies of ecological, hydrological, meteorological, and
interdisciplinary aspects of interactions between snow, vegetation, and
the atmosphere.
