Will,
I was hoping you would send this note out to the physiological ecology
list serve.
Thanks for your help.

Dear Colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to the following Bioenergy session
at AGU Fall meeting “B65: Environmental aspects of bioenergy production”.
The session description is provided below. Please consider submitting
abstract to this session. The abstract submission deadline is September
2.
B65: Environmental aspects of bioenergy production
As biofuel production expands globally, it is critical to understand
the environmental consequences of cultivating biofuel crops. Knowledge
gap exists on its probable impact on soil organic carbon pool, water
resources, existing biodiversity, and greenhouse gas emissions. In this
session, we will assess what is known or anticipated about environmental
and sustainability factors associated with the cellulosic biofuels. We
welcome papers quantifying the environmental impacts, designing
standardized metrics and approaches, and using novel techniques to
identify environmental trade-offs for biofuel production. Papers focusing
on ecosystem models of biomass production and measurement techniques of
energy, water and gas exchange are also encouraged.
