Where Land Meets Water: Biogeochemical Cycling at the Terrestrial-Aquatic Interface
Where Land Meets Water: Biogeochemical Cycling at the Terrestrial-Aquatic Interface
Session ID#: 250207
Session Description:
The terrestrial-aquatic interface (TAI) spans diverse ecosystems where dynamic hydrologic exchanges drive complex biogeochemical responses. The mechanisms that mediate TAI processes are poorly understood, including interactions among soil chemistry, hydrology, microbes, and plant communities. We aim to facilitate a discussion of processes occurring in coastal and inland TAIs across spatial and temporal scales using field, laboratory, and modeling case studies with a particular emphasis on model-experiment integration and/or machine learning approaches. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions focused on topics related to hydrological, chemical, and/or biochemical processes occurring in response to TAI disturbances such as sea level rise and storm surges, variable inundation events, and prolonged saturation of soil systems. Our goal is to gain a stronger understanding of the state of TAI science, with emphasis on how these interfaces are responding to environmental stressors and disturbances.
