The four presentations in this Special Session will serve as a topical bridge between the Contaminants of Emerging Concern conference and the Riparian Ecosystem Conference.  Presentations in this Special Session will focus on the fate, transport and interactions of major elements, trace elements, or Green House Gases across a range of spatial and temporal scales along the stream-riparian zone-hillslope continuum. The goal of this session is to broaden our view of processes influencing elemental cycling in riparian zones, and to seek out commonalities that might inform riparian management strategies in the coming years.
