H11W:
Indicators of Plant Water Availability and Stress in Drought-Prone Forests at a Range of Spatial and Temporal Scales Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 45541

Session Description:
Long-term changes in water availability have effects on vegetation in many biomes. Climate interactions with the land surface control water availability at the root zone for a wide range of land plants, but dynamic ecohydrological feedbacks between water availability and plant water use (and water stress) obscure our understanding of both regional water balances and terrestrial ecosystems under a changing climate. Recent methodological developments in isotope hydrology, remote sensing, ecohydrological modeling, forest ecology and dendrochronology have engendered new understanding of water-vegetation interactions. However, there is still great uncertainty about how forests will evolve in terms of plant stress, health, and species composition with climatic changes that affect root-zone water availability. We seek papers that address this research challenge using a range of methods, and are especially interested in novel, interdisciplinary approaches that focus on forests in drought-prone regions of the globe at multiple spatial and temporal scales of inquiry.
