Dear Colleagues, Please consider submitting your exciting work to the following session. We welcome a wide spectrum of topics in dryland ecohydrology, especially new directions, new method development, and the interaction between soil biogeochemistry and hydrological processes.
The confirmed invited presenters are: Brad Wilcox (Texas A&M University) Russ Scott (USDA-ARS) John Wainwright (Durham University) A description of our session: Session ID: 2791 Session Title: Advances in dryland ecohydrology Sponsor:Hydrology (H) Co-Sponsor(s):Biogeosciences (B) Conveners: Lixin Wang (Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, IUPUI) and Sujith Ravi (Stanford University) "Drylands cover 40% of the terrestrial land surface and support at least 2 billion people. Water is fundamental to sustain ecosystem functions in drylands, where a tight coupling exists between water availability, ecosystem productivity, surface energy balance, and biogeochemical cycles. Both physical (e.g., CO2, temperature) and anthropogenic factors (e.g. agriculture, energy development) are increasingly affecting the dryland water dynamics. We welcome submissions focusing on the ecohydrological processes/feedbacks in drylands and their implications on a broad range of issues including ecosystem change, land use change, water resources, desertification, and food-energy-water nexus." Please note the deadline for abstract submissions is 6 August 23:59EDT/03:59 +1 GMT. Please consider this invitation to join our session, and look forward to seeing you at AGU this December. Thanks, Yours sincerely, Lixin Wang ********************************** Lixin Wang Assistant Professor Editor: Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Associate Editor: Geophysical Research Letters Associate Editor: Journal of Arid Environments Department of Earth Sciences Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) 723 W Michigan St, SL 118E Indianapolis IN 46202 Office Tel: 317-274-3795 Fax: 317-274-7966 http://earthsciences.iupui.edu/~lxwang http://geology.iupui.edu/people/lixin-wang **********************************
