Impacts of Extreme Climate Events and Disturbances on Carbon Dynamics - Part 1

Explore cutting-edge research on the impacts of extreme climate events and disturbances on carbon dynamics in this 2-hour conference session from the 2012 AGU Fall Meeting. Delve into topics such as soil respiration sensitivity after long-term climate change experiments, effects of bark beetle outbreaks and wildfires on carbon stocks in the western US, drought impacts on primary productivity in China, and altered tropical cyclone activity's influence on climate mitigation strategies. Examine carbon dynamics projections for the western United States, investigate CO2 and carbon balance in intensively grazed temperate pastures, analyze satellite-based biome productivity responses to large-scale drought and wet cycles in Australia, and assess terrestrial carbon losses from mountaintop coal mining. Gain valuable insights into the complex interactions between extreme climate events, disturbances, and carbon cycles across various ecosystems and regions.
