Explore cutting-edge research on forest carbon dynamics, ecosystem responses to climate-enhanced disturbances, and the impacts of drought, fire, and invasive species in this 1 hour 44 minute conference session from the 2012 AGU Fall Meeting. Delve into topics including observations of North American forest carbon cycles post-disturbance, plant hydraulic controls on ecosystem resilience, community structure changes across spatial and temporal scales, and the effects of climate variability on forest dynamics in the Eastern Amazon. Examine spatiotemporal patterns of disturbances in southwestern US forests, the impact of non-native grass invasion on California grasslands' energy dynamics, and the interplay of management, drought, and fire in pre-adapting an Eastern Bolivian forest to disturbance. Gain insights from leading researchers presenting their latest findings on ecosystem responses to various environmental stressors and disturbances.
