The research area at the interface between biogeochemistry, ecology, and hydrology is recently receiving considerable attention. It concerns the effects of hydrological processes on the distribution, structure, and
function of ecosystems, and on the effects of the biotic processes on the
components of the cycles of water and elements (C,N,P,S). The session aims to be an effort in this direction, particularly for arid and semi-arid environments, where knowledge is widely lacking. Scientists should be provided with background and synthesis of new research approaches and recent results in the study of biogeochemical, ecological, and hydrological processes. Contributions are welcome on studies in arid and semi-arid ecosystems concerning (a) soil-vegetation-atmosphere interactions and (b) biogeochemical and ecohydrological controls on water and nutrient availability of soils and plants.
