Eco-evolutionary Optimality session at EGU – Wednesday 25th May

LEMONTREE PI’s are convening an EGU session dedicated to exploring the use of optimality approaches in vegetation and land-surface models.

The session, under BG3 Terrestrial Biosciences will be convened by Sandy Harrison, along with co-conveners: Han Wang, Hugo de Boer, Anna Agusti-Panareda.

This session is designed to bring together scientists applying EEO approaches to modelling plant behaviour from cellular to community scales, experimentalists and observationalists developing data sets that can be used to evaluate EEO hypotheses, and vegetation and land-surface modellers implementing EEO approaches in existing model frameworks.

The session will explore the current state-of-the-art, as well as ways to move EEO-based approaches forward. The key objective is to bring together researchers from different communities working on EEO principles, promoting scientific exchanges that are much needed to develop robust, reliable and realistic next-generation Earth System Models.

We look forward to seeing you there!
