Session ID#: 17350

Session Description:
Wetlands and riparian zones have critical impacts on the hydrology and ecology of watersheds.  For example, these ecosystems capture and transform nutrients and other contaminants; store water to mitigate downgradient peak hydrologic flows; and serve as critical habitat for the movement of species throughout landscapes.  This session brings together researchers with diverse approaches to quantifying the effects of these ecosystems on water quality, quantity, and ecological function of downstream waters. The scope of this session includes both natural and constructed wetlands and riparian zones, so as to better characterize the role of ecosystem preservation and/or restoration at large spatial scales and thus guide land use policy decisions.  We welcome process-level experimental studies at the patch scale and remote sensing, modeling, and spatial analyses at catchment scale. We especially welcome contributions that span these scales and that use emerging process-level understanding to address knowledge gaps and data needs of larger-scale studies.
