Transcending Aquatic-terrestrial Boundaries: Ecology, Conservation and Management of Temporary Freshwaters

In this special session we explore how aquatic-terrestrial linkages influence the unique characteristics of temporary freshwaters, their biodiversity dynamics, and their contribution to key ecosystem functions such as nutrient dynamics and carbon cycling. In this talk, we outline the major themes that will be discussed and how they can advance our understanding of temporary freshwater ecosystems as well as the field of ecology more generally. These themes include: spatial aquatic-terrestrial linkages, temporal shifts between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem states, drying as a disturbance that impacts community and meta-community structure, and the contribution of temporary freshwater systems to biogeochemical cycles. We close by discussing how temporary freshwater systems may be used as a model system to advance our understanding of the fields of ecology and stream ecology.
