We would like to draw your attention to an AGU 2014 special session focused on research linking watershed-scale hydrological and biogeochemical processes to aquatic ecosystem responses.
Please consider submitting your work to this session. The abstract submission deadline is August 6th 2014. Thank you, Heather Golden (US EPA, Office of Research & Development) Nandita Basu (University of Waterloo) Chris Knightes (US EPA, Office of Research & Development) Charles Lane (US EPA, Office of Research & Development) Session Name: Linking Watershed Processes with Aquatic Ecosystem Functions and Services Session ID#: 1890 Session Description: Session website: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm14/webprogrampreliminary/Session1890.html Abstract submission website: http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2014/scientific-program/ Understanding the link between watershed-scale processes and their associated aquatic ecological responses requires an approach that incorporates multiple terrestrial and aquatic system variables across space (multi-scale watersheds and component surface water systems, e.g., rivers, streams, wetlands, lakes) and time (diurnal, seasonal, annual). This session provides a forum to present advances in research that couples anthropogenic drivers of physical (e.g., climate change, land use change) and/or biogeochemical (e.g., atmospheric deposition of N, S, or Hg, nutrient transformations) watershed processes with related effects on the aquatic ecosystem. We particularly encourage studies that use novel modeling and/or monitoring approaches to explore connections between these chemical or physical landscape stressors and aquatic ecosystem functions, including water quality and ecosystem services, at diverse spatial and temporal scales.
