Session ID#: 17758

Session Description:
The need for understanding the interactions between hydraulic, ecological and geomorphic processes in natural systems has generated an increase in the number of interdisciplinary projects in the field of ecohydraulics. Laboratory and field studies at a wide range of scales are conducted to understand the underlying physical and biological processes on flow-biota-substrate interactions. This session focuses on the lessons learned from laboratory and field studies on ecohydraulics: advantages, limitations, best practices, and the future of the field. Research topics include, but are not limited to: 1) Hydrodynamics and geomorphic impacts of aquatic vegetation, 2) Organism-Habitat relationship and habitat selection, 3) The role of organisms and communities as ecosystem engineers, 4) Effects of flow-biota interactions on transport processes of nutrients and pollutants. Works that address the transfer between findings from field and laboratory experiments are particularly encouraged to submit.
