Abstract/Description
Recent findings revealed that alpine peatlands are more spatially extensive than previously assumed, underscoring their importance for carbon storage in alpine soils. Alpine wetlands contain lower carbon stocks than alpine peatlands but may develop into peatlands in the future. Alpine wetlands and peatlands are expected to behave differently than their lowland or Northern counterparts, but details about their hydrological, chemical and biological functioning and their stability under future climate change are largely unknown.
In this session, we welcome contributions on hydrology, biogeochemistry, microbiology, policy, and greenhouse gas fluxes at alpine peat- and wetlands. We aim to bring together scientists from different fields to bridge knowledge gaps and create connections for future collaborations. This session aims to cover the full extent of alpine water-saturated soils, including both high and low elevation sites, well-developed peat systems and proglacial wetlands, and pristine as well as human-impacted sites.

- 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.
