Please consider submitting to the following session at the AGU Fall Meeting this year. The abstract deadline is September 2, 2010.
EP 18. Vegetation and Flow in Fluvial and Wetland Environments Complex interactions between flow and vegetation play a critical role in the hydroecology and geomorphology of fluvial and coastal environmental systems including wetlands, river channels, and floodplains. Flow resistance caused by living trees, large woody debris, grasses, shrubs, and periphyton alters the distribution and magnitude of shear stress in the flow, which can affect sediment transport, water quality, contaminant dispersal, and nutrient budgets. This session will analyze the relationship between vegetation and flow in submerged and emergent canopies and strongly encourages submissions that demonstrate how this interaction impacts sediment transport dynamics, riparian ecology, and biogeochemical cycling. http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm10/program/scientific_session_search.php?show=detail&sessid=235 Thanks, and apologies for cross-posting, Katie Skalak, USGS, [email protected] Anne Lightbody, University of New Hampshire, [email protected]
