[Ecohydrology-commits] Advances in ecohydrology session at AGU 2017

[Kailiang Yu]

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.
