European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2011 will be organised on 3 - 8 April 2011 in Vienna, Austria. In the Programme Group BG - Biogeosciences, a session BG2.7: "A plant’s perspective of extremes: Plant and ecosystem responses to changing climatic variability" will be organised.
In this session answers the following questions will be strived:
• How can we quantify critical environmental conditions for plants?
• How do plants respond to changes in the mean, the variability and the patterning of environmental variables (isolated or in interaction)?
• How can plants cope with stressful conditions, where are the limits?
• What are potential feedbacks of plant responses to the carbon and water cycle under such conditions?
• What are the consequences for ecosystem function and the adaptive capacity of plants?
