This session aims to bring together scientists actively engaged in ecosystem modelling to discuss recent advancements in developing ecological processes and constraining climate responses within models. As climate changes continue to impact ecosystems worldwide, improving the presentation of processes, responses and their interactions is crucial for accurately predicting future responses and gaining insights into terrestrial feedback mechanism atmospheric feedback.

We invite abstracts that address, but are not limited to, the following themes:
(1) Advances in representing responses of terrestrial ecosystem processes to climate variability and extremes;
(2) Advances in accounting for species dynamics, changes in ecosystem composition and interactions;
(3) Methods for improving the representation of ecological processes and interactions in different terrestrial ecosystems;
(4) site, regional and global studies taking advantage of in-situ measurements, Earth observing systems (EOS) or laboratory experiments, improving ecosystem model processes
