Non-Perennial Streams: An Interface Between Hydrology, Ecology, Biogeochemistry, and Society
Non-Perennial Streams: An Interface Between Hydrology, Ecology, Biogeochemistry, and Society
Session ID#: 122526
Session Description:
Non-perennial streams are widespread and critical to ecosystems and society. This session seeks to develop an interdisciplinary understanding of this interface by bringing together hydrological, biogeochemical, ecological, and socio-economic perspectives on non-perennial streams. We welcome contributions spanning the wide variety of non-perennial streams including intermittent rivers, ephemeral streams, agricultural ditches, urban drainage systems, and any other temporary waterway. This session aims to bring together studies that reflect the diversity of non-perennial streams across the world. This includes spatial scales from an individual stream reach to regional or global analyses; temporal scales from individual events to long-term dynamics; and methods including, but not limited to, field-based research, modeling, remote sensing, microbiology, data synthesis, qualitative methods, and policy work.
