The interface between biogeochemistry, ecology, and hydrology 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 addresses 
particularly arid and semi-arid environments, where knowledge is still 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.
