It is our great pleasure to announce the joint conference of AsiaFlux Workshop 2017 and the 15th Anniversary Celebration of ChinaFLUX, to be held in Beijing, China, on August 17-19, 2017.
The thesis of AsiaFlux Workshop 2017, “Linking ecosystem flux measurements and carbon management to global change  (temporary)” well matches the primary mission of AsiaFlux to bring Asia’s key ecosystems under observation to ensure quality and sustainability of life on earth. This workshop features will discuss the scientific challenges on flux measurement and monitoring, couplings cycles of carbon, water and nitrogen, upscaling approaches for regional carbon budget, as well as resilient carbon/water management.
As one of important partners of FLUXNET and AsiaFlux, ChinaFLUX will greet the coming 15th Anniversary since 2002. During the past 15 years’ development, ChinaFLUX has achieved great progresses in ecosystem carbon, nitrogen and water exchange and environmental controlling mechanisms, the spatial pattern of carbon, nitrogen and water fluxes and biogeographical mechanisms, as well as the regional terrestrial ecosystem carbon budget assessment. During this joint conference, a series of celebration will be organized for the 15th Anniversary of ChinaFLUX.
