Information - HS17 Ecohydrology of riparian zones and floodplains (co-listed in BG)
Event Information
This session will focus on multidisciplinary research that monitors, analyses and models hydrological and ecosystem processes at multiple spatial and temporal scales within riparian zones and floodplains. Special attention is devoted to (i) understanding the physical interactions and feedbacks between hydrology, geomorphology and vegetation in riparian and floodplain environments, and to (ii) studies exploring the short and long term dynamics of change in such systems in response to both natural and man-induced flow variability. We encourage contributions on the connections between riparian vegetation growth and hydrology/geomorphology; studies of the impacts of flow regime variability on the floodplains of small and large alluvial rivers; and studies of aquatic habitat response. Contributions exploring the watershed and river management implications of ecohydrological investigations are also invited. This session will combine theoretical and numerical modelling investigations with field experiments, observations, and applications of remote sensing.
