Ecohydrology, i.e., the study of the interactions between water and ecosystems, is expanding rapidly as a field of research, beyond traditional discipline boundaries in terms of questions and approaches. This session aims to draw examples from this wide field, in order to portray the current diversity and common features of research frontiers in ecohydrological studies, as well as the range of methods employed. We thus encourage contributions showing novel results or methods when tackling questions related to the coupling of ecological, biogeochemical and hydrological processes, at scales ranging from the single organ or organisms to whole ecosystem/catchment. While contributions relative to all terrestrial and aquatic systems are welcome, this year we especially encourage abstracts focusing on managed ecosystems, showing how human intervention alters the interactions between water and ecosystems.

The invited speakers for the session are Prof. Amilcare Porporato (Princeton University, USA) and Dan Moore (University of British Columbia, Canada).
