From ky9hc at virginia.edu Wed Jul 5 22:50:55 2017 From: ky9hc at virginia.edu (Kailiang Yu) Date: Wed, 5 Jul 2017 14:50:55 -0600 Subject: [Ecohydrology-commits] Advances in ecohydrology session at AGU 2017 Message-ID: Dear colleagues, We would like to invite you to submit abstracts to our session in this year's AGU Fall Meeting (11-15 Dec, 2017) in New Orleans, Louisiana, entitled "H006. Advances in ecohydrology of water-stressed environments." We will have invited speakers for this session including Dr. Alexandra Konings (Stanford University) and Dr. Pierre Gentine (Columbia University). You can submit abstracts at the following link: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm17/preliminaryview.cgi/Session23392 Please note the deadline for abstract submission is Aug 2, 2017 and early submission is highly preferred. For more information, please refer to the abstract and session information below. Thank you for your attention and we look forward to receiving your abstracts and seeing you in New Orleans! *H006. Advances in ecohydrology of water-stressed environments.* *Session Description:* Water-stressed environments include drylands and any drought-prone ecosystems where vegetation productivity is water-limited during at least part of the year. These seasonally or perennially dry ecosystems make up about 40% of the terrestrial land surface. Both anthropogenic activities (e.g., land use changes and overgrazing) and global environmental changes (e.g., CO2 enrichment, drought and warming) affect dryland vegetation and water dynamics, with important impacts on ecohydrological and geochemical processes, regional climate feedback, and the provision of ecosystem services such as water resource supply, livestock grazing, sheltering of the soil surface, and flood control. These potential consequences on ecosystem function and services highlight the importance of advancing our understanding of ecohydrological processes in water-stressed environments. We welcome submissions focusing on the ecohydrological processes/feedbacks in water-stressed environments and their implications on a broad range of issues, including vegetation water use and ecosystem change, carbon sequestration, water resources, desertification, and the food-energy-water nexus. *Primary Convener: * *Kailiang Yu*, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT, United States *Conveners: * *Lixin Wang*, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis, Earth Sciences, Indianapolis, IN, United States, *Kelly K Caylor*, University of California Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA, United States and *Xue Feng*, University of Minnesota Twin Cities, Civil, Environmental, and Geo-Engineering, Minneapolis, MN, United States -- Sincerely, Kailiang Yu Department of Biology University of Utah 257 S 1400 E, Salt Lake City, UT 84112 Office: 205C (Bill Anderegg's lab) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
