AGU Fall Meeting 2016

B52D: Vegetation Canopies: Observations and Theory of Physiology, Structure, and Function
12 - 16 December 2016
Co-Convener: Sönke Zaehle
In this session we will explore the relative roles of leaf physiology, phenology, microclimate and canopy structure in determining ecosystem states, traits and rates. We are particularly interested in studies that use novel observational and theoretical approaches to examine changes in canopy form and function, particularly those that bridge traditional boundaries with new theory, observations and models across scales. We encourage submissions of studies merging field and experimental observations, with both near-surface and remote sensing techniques.
