What few observational co nstrains on ionization currently exists suggest overall low ionization\, l imiting the processes able to take place. I will present new NOEMA observa tions which\, when combined with chemical modeling\, are indicative of enh anced ionization rates in the envelopes of three Class I protostars. I wi ll then discuss the potential impact of this early enhancement on the evol ution of protoplanetary disks.\n\nhttps://meetings.aip.de/event/1/contribu tions/32/ LOCATION:Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) Lecture Hall URL:https://meetings.aip.de/event/1/contributions/32/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
