| Special Session - Impacts of Agriculture on Stream Ecosystems I | |||
| Intensification of agriculture, through greater use of chemical fertilizers, larger livestock operations with insufficient land base for manure application, increased irrigation, and cultivation of marginal land, has resulted in diffuse pollution being a major source of nutrients, contaminants and sediments to inland and coastal waters. This special session aims to address the effects of agricultural activities on ecological condition of flowing waters, and to provide Society members with a current, international perspective on the management of these working landscapes. The session will consist of invited papers summarizing key science issues for the management of agricultural watersheds. Contributed papers/posters on the topic would be welcome. | |||
