The Earth’s environment is a complex dynamic system. The numerous processes that take place in the atmosphere and terrestrial ecosystems are linked and have an effect on, for example, atmospheric composition, climate, vegetation and human health. Due to the complicated linkages, feedbacks and teleconnections, new integrated research approaches are needed. To be able to study the various relations, several disciplines such as biology, chemistry, physics, meteorology, hydrology and ecology need to be combined. This can be achieved by joint research activities that combine a variety of experimental and observational approaches, analytical methods and modelling techniques. The session is open to all contributions that study how interacting physical, chemical, and biological processes transport and transform energy, momentum and materials through the land-atmosphere system, examine the implications for the dynamics of the Earth System, how the terrestrial-ecosystem/atmosphere system functioned under pre-industrial conditions, and how are human activities influencing it, and to what extent does the vegetation determine its physical and chemical environment on various temporal and spatial scales. This session is in context with the new IGBP (International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme) land-atmosphere project iLEAPS (Integrated Land Ecosystem-Atmosphere Processes Study).
