PAST EVENT: BIOGEOMON 2012

BIOGEOMON 2012 is the 7th International Conference on Ecosystem Behavior. The conference has been held every three years since 1987, at sites alternating between Europe and North America. BIOGEOMON 2012 includes 14 Conference Themes with technical sessions throughout the week highlighted by internationally recognized plenary speakers each day of the conference. The sequence of plenary speakers broadly addresses records of environmental change through time. The Conference Themes explore cutting edge research on the biogeochemistry of our planet, emphasizing terrestrial ecosystems.

Conference Themes:

• Long-term integrated monitoring and modeling
• Biosphere-atmosphere interactions and exchanges: gases and aerosols
• The role of extreme events in ecosystem biogeochemistry
• Linkages among biogeochemical cycles
• Critical unknowns in nitrogen dynamics and reactive N
• Biogeochemistry of peatlands
• Carbon cycling in well-drained forested soils
• Carbon cycling in poorly-drained soils
• Experimental manipulations of ecosystems
• Trace element biogeochemistry and ecosystem impact
• Applications of isotopes and tracers
• Bio-energy production impacts in forested systems
• Biogeochemical aspects of ecosystem restoration and rehabilitation
• Ecosystem management and ecosystem services
