and human activities on watershed resources including interactions between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The goal of this program is to develop core knowledge, methods, and technologies that enable effective watershed management in forests and grasslands,
sustain biodiversity, and maintain healthy watershed conditions. The science program emphasizes integration across disciplines and with our science partners. W&W has internal research capacity for integration of physical and biological sciences that includes
studies in the disciplines of atmospheric sciences, soils, forest engineering, biogeochemistry, hydrology, terrestrial and riparian plant physiology and aquatic ecology and limnology, conservation biology and fisheries. In addition, the program uses high-quality,
long-term data for evaluating local, regional and national environmental change. The program also provides managers with tools to evaluate environmental change and manage terrestrial and aquatic resources.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
