H14C:
Ecohydrology in a Changing Environment II


Session ID#: 10587

Session Description:
Ecohydrology addresses the interactions of water availability, ecosystem productivity, and biogeochemical cycles by investigating connections between ecological, hydrological, and geomorphological processes in natural and built environments.

Deciphering the response of these processes to environmental change requires experimental design, systematic monitoring, and numerical modeling that allow for understanding physical and biological processes and their interactions over multiple time scales. This session reflects the interests of the Ecohydrology Technical Committee of AGU. We welcome submissions that provide new datasets, ideas, or techniques to investigate fundamental principles governing ecohydrological changes through observations, manipulations, and biophysically-based numerical modeling.
