Conservation Ecohydrology
Session ID#: 250494
Session Description:
In a world projected to become hotter and, in many places, drier over the next century, successful conservation strategies require a better understanding of the interactions between flora, fauna, climate, and water resources. Ecohydrology research has a central role to play in promoting healthy ecosystems and guiding sustainable development and agriculture, but it has not been leveraged widely in the conservation sciences. In this fourth annual session on Conservation Ecohydrology, we aim to bring together research integrating ecohydrological approaches with conservation science in order to understand and adaptively manage the complex linkages between ecosystems, agriculture, climate, and water resources. Examples include, but are not limited to: identifying hydrological thresholds for ecosystem function, monitoring the health of ecosystems under changing water quantity and quality, and sustainable development and agriculture in dryland environments. We encourage submissions from research on all taxa in riparian, upland, aquatic, and agricultural systems.
