Nutrient dynamics at the interface between surface waters and groundwaters
1. The surface water/groundwater (SW/GW) interface is a crucial control point for lateral nutrient ̄uxes between uplands and aquatic ecosystems and for upstream/ downstream (longitudinal) processes in lotic ecosystems. 2. Hydrological and biogeochemical dynamics of the SW/GW ecotone are linked to the degree of channel constraint and the sediment characteristics of the ̄oodplain and stream bed. 3....
متن کاملIdentifying Legal, Ecological and Governance Obstacles, and Opportunities for Adapting to Climate Change
Current governance of regional scale water management systems in the United States has not placed them on a path toward sustainability, as conflict and gridlock characterize the social arena and ecosystem services continue to erode. Changing climate may continue this trajectory, but it also provides a catalyst for renewal of ecosystems and a window of opportunity for change in institutions. Res...
متن کاملQuantifying the transient response of ecological-economic systems to perturbations
Ecologists and economists are increasingly in agreement that ecological and economic systems are linked and that these actually should be viewed as one system. Perhaps because this recognition has been very recent, neither ecologists nor economists have studied the short-term behavior of jointly determined ecologicaleconomic systems that are subject to perturbations stemming from natural events...
متن کاملCharacterizing Land Use Change in Multidisciplinary Landscape-Level Analyses
Economists increasingly face opportunities to collaborate with ecologists on landscape-level analyses of socioeconomic and ecological processes. Tnis often calls for developing empirical models to project land use change as input into ecological models. Providing ecologists with the land use information they desire can present many challenges regarding data, modeling, and econometrics. This pap...
متن کاملConverging Currents in Climate-Relevant Conservation: Water, Infrastructure, and Institutions
Ecologists and economists have long talked past each other, but climate change presents similar threats to both groups. Water may serve as the best means of finding a common cause and building a new vision of ecological and economic sustainability, especially in the developing world.
