四川贡嘎山森林生态系统国家野外科学观测研究站

Vegetation restoration following large-scale geological disturbance is often limited by nutrient availability and the coarse texture of debris. Soil chronosequences develop on volcanic deposits, sand dunes, glacier forelands, and other consequences of catastrophic disturbance. Studies of these chronosequences have demonstrated how pedogenic processes interact with plant and microbial succession to regenerate soil nutrient cycling and vegetation during long-term ecosystem development. Understanding these synergetic processes can help to facilitate vegetation restoration on pedogenically compromised areas such as landslides, mining wasteland and alpine barelands.

The 1^st International Symposium on Soil Nutrient Cycling along Chronosequences and its Implications for Ecological Restoration will be held between 6-11 May 2024 in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China. Organized by Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), the meeting will bring together scientists studying soil chronosequences and ecosystem restoration to present findings and discuss state-of-the-art concepts in the discipline.

The meeting will be held at Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences in Chengdu and will combine oral and poster presentations with workshop-style discussion sessions. The week will conclude with a post-conference field trip to the spectacular Hailuogou postglacial soil choronosequence on the eastern slope of Gongga Mountain (Minya Konka), approximately 290 km from Chengdu, SW China.

The output of this workshop will be a special issue in Plant and Soil, Journal of Mountain Science and Mountain Research (Chinese version), respectively. This will include a workshop synthesis article as well as primary research papers from chronosequences around the world.

CONFERENCE THEMES AND OBJECTIVES

The themes include but are not limited to:

Weathering and pedogenic processes along chronosequences
Biogeochemical processes of nutrient mobilization during pedogenesis and primary succession along chronosequences
The roles of microorganisms in nutrient cycling during pedogenesis and primary succession along chronosequences
Mechanisms of plant acquisition and utilization of nutrients along chronosequences
Plant-microorganism interaction in nutrient cycling during primary succession
Inspiration of knowledge on nutrient cycling along chronosequences for ecological restoration on harsh debris environment in geological hazard areas

The workshop will provide a forum for the exchange of information, ideas, and progress in our understanding of soil nutrient cycling along chronosequences and its relation to vegetation development, with an emphasis on the use of this knowledge to restore ecosystems following catastrophic disturbance.
