Conservation Ecohydrology

Session ID#: 160738

Session Description:
In a world projected to become hotter and, in many places, drier over the next half-century, successful conservation strategies require a better understanding of the interactions between flora, fauna, climate, and water resources and an ability to anticipate how changing patterns of water resource availability will affect ecosystem structure and function. Focused on the interactions between water and ecosystems, ecohydrology has a central role to play in management of biodiversity, but has not been leveraged in the conservation sciences as strongly as other disciplines. This session, sponsored by the Ecohydrology Technical Committee, will highlight the emerging science of conservation ecohydrology, which seeks to understand and adaptively manage the complex linkages between ecosystems, climate, and water resources. We aim to bring together research focused on ecohydrological approaches for improved understanding and management of natural resources. Examples include: development of early warning indicators to drought, forecasting hydrological impacts on ecological refugia, understanding impacts of wildlife on the water cycle, and advancements in tools for applied ecohydrological observation. We encourage submissions from research in riparian, upland, and aquatic systems.
