H44B:
Scales and Scaling in Soil Hydrology: Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Complex Processes Posters

Submit an Abstract to this Session

Session ID#: 6978

Session Description:
Complex soil hydrological systems play host to a variety of interactions among physical, geochemical and biological processes. A primary research challenge to understand this complexity is the issue of ‘scale’. Understanding interactions among properties and processes across a range of spatial and temporal scales is critical to advance our understanding on soil water systems. This session solicits contributions from ecologists, biogeochemists, soil physicists, agricultural scientists, hydrologists, geophysicists, climatologists, and others working on the key aspects of complex soil hydrological systems and their characterization at different scales. Research on recent advances in fundamental, experimental, methodological and modelling studies on how soil physical, chemical, biological and hydrological processes interact at multiple spatial and temporal scales are invited to submit to the session.
