EGU 2017, Vienna, Austria, 23-28 Ap ril 2017
At least two ses
sions will be organized with the focus on permafrost-affected soils:
“
Permafrost-affected soils” session (SSS9.13/BG9.45/CL4.06/CR4.7): The impor
tance of permafrost-affected soils, both at high latitudes and high elevati
ons, in the global carbon cycle and related potential soil transformations
due to climate change have been identified. The participants of this sessio
n are welcome to present their results on various aspects of permafrostaffe
cted soils including soil genesis, classification, the relationships betwee
n permafrost-affected soil properties and changing environmental factors (e
.g. productivity and plant species compositions) as well as mapping of soil
properties by taking into account soil spatial distribution and variabilit
y.
“Soils in Space and Time:Paleocryosols” session (SSS3.7). Soils in
polar and boreal regions play a decisive role on the environmental dynamics
of the terrestrial ecosystem. Some of these areas have experienced very si
gnificant warming trends during the last decades, resulting in change of th
e dynamics of these soils with implications on the environment system. The
aim of the session is to bring to light the state of progress in knowledge
of soils in these regions, considering human and natural dynamics.
