Forest-Water Interactions

Foreword

Preface 

A. Novel Methods:  Environmental sensing opportunities for forest-water interactions [Darryl]

     1. Instrumentation (high frequency in stream with S::CAN/imaging/accelerometers/tomography/fiber  optics/gravimetrics); sensing from tree-to-continent (interception, stream chem/ ET) (Selker/Van de Giesen/Bowden)

     3. Open source instrumentation and ecohydrology (David Hill and Brandon Turner)

     4. Isotopic fingerprinting: applications in ecohydrology (Tetzlaff, Soulsby)

     6. GIS and Google platforms: applications to forest-water interactions (Creed)

B. Analyzing and synthesizing ecohydrological patterns and functional relationships with statistics  (with R code as electronic supplementary information) [Alex Tischer]

     1. Data exploration and transformation

     2. Analysis of patterns: spatiotemporal statistics (kriging/semivariograms/autocorrelation/time series?/etc)

     3. Analysis of functional relations: application and comparison of likelihood-based and Bayesian statistics

     4. Machine learning techniques and big data, including self-organizing maps/other [Holger Lange]

C. Synthesizing some recent advances in process-based forest-water interactions  [Michalzik , Nanko]

     1. Leaf water repellency (Holder, Roasado, Goldsmith from Scherrer Inst, Switz, W. Konrad, Tuebingen)

     2. Throughfall drop size distribution (Nanko, Levia, Leuchner)

     3. DOM & Microbial drivers of biogeochemical cycling in TF/SF, forest cycles (metabolism & transport) (Michalzik, Müller, Naethe, Levia, others in Jena, Gallery)

     5. Forest-Groundwater Interactions (Germer)

     6. Cycling of radionuclides in wooded ecosystems (Onda)

D. Forest-water interactions in urban ecosystems [Levia]

     1. Green infrastructure: Canopy interception loss, throughfall, stemflow (Carlyle-Moses et al.)

     2. Deposition chemistry of edge trees (Wuyts, Staelens, Verheyen, Belgian Group)

     3. iTree and other urban tree models and their use for hydrology and biogeochemistry for cities (Nowak, Endreny, Wang, Yang)

     4. Applications of science to planners, water resource managers (Livesley)

E. Forest-water interactions over the long- term: analysis and synthesis from several experimental watersheds [Iida]

     1. Hydrological and biogeochemical insights from HBEF (Likens, McGuire, Driscoll)    

     2. Long term research from Aichi Forest at UTokyo OR 5 FFPRI sites & comparison of temperate forests in Japan and Sweden (Tamai, Tanaka, Boyer, Bishop) 

     3. Water fluxes and changing soils over time (e.g., cation loss) (Wolfgang Wilcke)

    4. Long term measurements of sediment transport and runoff in Vallcebre, Spain (Llorens, Latron, Gallart, Pfister)
