“We encourage submissions that highlight the effects of natural and anthropogenic disturbances on the biogeochemical cycling of elements along the terrestrial-aquatic continuum or within a single environment type (i.e., soil, water, or sediment).“

The urban terrestrial-aquatic continuum plays a critical role in global carbon and nutrient cycles, especially under novel climate scenarios. Changes in watershed land-use, escalating disturbances, and the uniqueness of urban systems interact with biogeochemical and hydrological processes across this continuum, creating significant uncertainty. Understanding these interactions is crucial for addressing global environmental challenges.

The Biogeochemical and Microbial Processes across the Urban Terrestrial-Aquatic Continuum American Geophysical Union 2024 Fall Meeting session aims to convene a diverse community of researchers focused on the function of the urban terrestrial-aquatic continuum in carbon and nutrient cycling, from local to global scales. We encourage submissions that explore the effects of natural and anthropogenic disturbances on biogeochemical cycling of elements along the continuum or within specific environments, such as soil, water, or sediment.

We welcome investigations conducted across various spatial and temporal scales using laboratory experiments, field studies, or models. This session seeks to advance our understanding of urban biogeochemical processes and foster collaborations to tackle the complexities of urban ecosystems in a changing world. Join us at AGU24 to share your innovative research.

Deadline is July 31, 2021 to propose an abstract for inclusion in this session.
