Adrian (Adie) Collins and Christophe Darnault from Clemson University will explore water systems in relation to agriculture ecosystems. Adie Collins will share insights from England highlighting improved agriculture management strategies and Christophe Darnault will discuss the flow and transport in agriculture ecosystems. Darnault’s research on soil and water conservation in agricultural and forestry systems investigates the impacts of water reuse and prescribed fires practices on the surface and subsurface processes —hydrology and soil erosion, and water quality within this landscape.
