Abstract/Description
The European Alps are experiencing accelerated climatic and environmental changes that ultimately affect regional carbon dynamics. Alpine ecosystems — from forested slopes and grasslands to permafrost soils, wetlands, and glacier forelands — exhibit highly heterogeneous carbon dynamics driven by steep climatic gradients, complex topography, and diverse land-use histories. Understanding how carbon stocks and fluxes respond to warming, altered precipitation regimes, vegetation shifts, permafrost degradation, wildfires and land-use changes is essential for predicting future carbon balance and informing mitigation and adaptation strategies. This session brings together experts working on all facets of carbon dynamics in Alpine environments. We welcome contributions presenting new estimates of carbon stocks in vegetation and soils, measurements of carbon fluxes (e.g. CO₂ and CH₄ fluxes from chamber or eddy-covariance methods), remote-sensing approaches designed to explore spatial and temporal variability in carbon dynamics, manipulation experiments, as well as results from interdisciplinary monitoring networks. We also encourage submissions presenting process-based, statistical, or machine-learning models to represent ecosystem carbon responses, upscale plot-level data, quantify uncertainties, or forecast future trajectories under changing climate and land-use scenarios. By integrating experimental, observational and modelling perspectives, this session aims to promote interdisciplinary dialogue and foster integrated insights into the current and future carbon balance of the Alpine region.

- Click “Submissions” and select the session you want to review (you need to be chair or co-chair to see the session and the submissions to the session) by clicking on the “external link” symbol:
- On the selected session page, scroll down to get to the section “Submitted abstracts”.
-> this list shows all abstracts submitted to your session.
-> each line shows one abstract - To get to the review section, please click on the “eye” symbol: of the abstract.
-> the abstract expands and new sections (First author, Co-author(s) and description) appear.
-> additional, the abstract review area appears below the abstract content. - The review area gives you now a new panel to adjust:
FOR CO-CHAIRS
-> dropdown menu to set a review recommendation (you can overwrite this recommendation as often as you want)
-> optional: comments to share with your chair-colleagues and the organizing committee (max. 50 characters, not visible for the authors of the abstract)
INFO: You can change your review (incl. comments) for an abstract as often as you want until the chair makes the final decision. Changes are overwritten and not archived.
FOR CHAIRS
-> checkbox to set your final review (when activated, you confirm your final choice and will close the review process of this abstract)
-> optional: comments to share with your co-chair(s) and the organizing committee (max. 50 characters, not visible for the authors of the abstract)
INFO: You can leave comments without making your final review as often as you want. Changes are overwritten and not archived. When activating the checkbox, you make your final review and close the review process for this abstract. In case of an erroneous review, you can of course contact us via contact form (please provide the abstract number). You can do the review no matter if your co-chair(s) have already submitted a review recommendation or not.
Details of the used icons/symbols
Once the review of the abstract is completed by the chair, this icon appears.
If at least one review/comment has been provided by the co-chair, this icon appears.
If at least one comment has been provided by the (co-)chair(s), this icon appears.
