H23J:
Ecohydrology in the Critical Zone II
Session ID#: 10608
Session Description:
The constantly evolving critical zone (CZ) - Earth's heterogeneous thin outer veneer extending from the top of the canopy to the base of weathered bedrock – sustains life through its provision of services such as soil development, water purification, and climate regulation. The linkages between hydrological and ecohydrological processes play an integral role in the functioning of the CZ. We solicit contributions that explore these linkages at all space and time scales, spanning single or multiple sites. We are interested in abstracts contributing to understanding (1) complex ecohydrologic relationships that regulate the flows of energy, water, carbon and nutrients at the boundaries of and interfaces within the critical zone, (2) how the functioning of the CZ will respond to changes in ecohydrologic relationships that result from anthropogenic, management, and climate pressures, and (3) how CZ process organization in landscapes leads to spatial patterns in soils and ecosystems.
