Wetlands and Peatlands in a Changing Climate: Science and Management
Session ID#: 158634
Session Description:
Climate change is recognized as a threat to wetland and peatland ecosystems through alterations in hydrological regimes. Small changes in the hydrological and climatic conditions can alter their ecological and biogeochemical functions, including carbon storage, nutrient cycling and water filtration. These ecosystem services of peatlands and wetlands greatly depend on our future efforts to restore and manage them in a science-based manner. We welcome presentations on the changing hydrological and biogeochemical processes of contemporary wetlands and peatlands. We particularly encourage the presentations on newly developing environmental indicators, revisiting conventional parameters, and coupled experiment-modelling approaches. The session is aimed to address the direct and indirect impacts of hydrological and climatic changes on the functioning and resilience of wetlands and peatlands, for specific recommendations on management, adaptation, restoration, and protection of these ecosystems.
