PARENT SESSION Tuesday, August 8, 8:00-10:00 pm EV 9 - Icons/upstarts: steady-state working hypotheses, disturbance/response models, and data on contrasting space-time scales Ballroom B, Ballroom Level, Cook Convention Center Organized by: JS Olson (olsonjb@aol.com) and WM Post Near-balance of input/output is often assumed tentatively in estimating fractional turnover rates in models (global, regional, very local) before refining simulations for localized transient recovery as: 1) measured in experiments (~local), 2) allocated over heterogeneous landscapes and climate gradients, and 3) suitably integrated for regional/global management/policy issues.
