  Information - HS10.18 Linking catchment hydrological and biogeochemical processes across spatial scales

Event Information
Research on the integration of hydrological and biogeochemical process-understanding has been an overarching theme in catchment science the last decades. Much of this research has been motivated by the societal needs to better understand, manage and protect our aquatic ecosystems. However, a fundamental difficulty in much of this previous research has been that the information we have received about relevant processes primarily is applicable at the scale of plots, hillslopes and small catchments. By contrast, the questions and environmental problems we need to resolve often occur at the landscape scale. This incongruity calls for new approaches can integrate process studies, multi-scale investigations and catchment scale models.

This session welcomes presentations that explore the link between hydrological and biogeochemical field-process studies and multi-scale investigations. We anticipate that your presentation address issues relating to both natural processes and those affected by human perturbations, such forestry, climate change and long-range transport of air pollutants.
