BACKGROUND: This will be a first-of-its-kind of specialty conference
focused on hydrology and management issues on forested wetlands.
The conference will be held April 8-12, 2006 in the historic town of
New Bern near the Neuse River estuary in North Carolina, USA.The conference
site is also near a vast amount of forested wetlands on a coast
where the challenges of forest management and urban sprawl are
becoming acute. In the last two decades, there has been a growing concern
over the impact of both human activities (urbanization, land use
conversion, forest management and agriculture) and natural disturbances
(droughts, fire, floods, and hurricanes) on the hydrologic and nutrient
cycling, and export processes of forested wetlands. Commercial forestry
is predicted to increase in the southern United States over the next 20
years, increasing the need to document the impact of silvicultural management
practices on water quality. The conference will explore the
effects of land use and management practices on hydrology and pollutant
loads, as well as impacts of regulatory and incentive programs for conserving
the functions of wetlands. It will also celebrate 20 years of
research by Unive r s i t y, Industry and Forest Service Scientists on
Weyerhaeuser Company’s nearby Carteret 7 research site.
PURPOSE: To bring together a diverse group with interest in the
forested wetlands and provide a forum for disseminating the latest
research results, the state-of-the-knowledge of forested wetlands, and
implications of their management for sustainable development.

TOPIC AREAS:
. Wetland Hydrologic Processes and Functions
. Lateral Effects of Drainage Ditches on Wetland Hydrology
. Biogeochemical Cycling and Transport
. Sustainable Management of Forested Wetlands
. Effects of Water Management and Silvicultural Practices on
Hydrology and Water Quality
. Effects of Landuse and Climate Change on Wetland Hydrology
and Water Quality
. Innovative Monitoring and Modeling Techniques
. Long-Term Hydrologic Monitoring and Reference data for
TMDL Development
. Carolina Bays as Depresssional Wetlands
. Wetland Restoration and Best Management Practices (BMPs)
. Management of Flora and Fauna
. Productivity and Economics of Forested Wetlands
. Regulatory Issues
. Hydrology and Water Quality of Forested Wetlands at a Watershed

Scale
SPECIAL SESSIONS: A special technical session will be
dedicated to the celebration of 20 years of forest water management
research at Weyerhaeuser Company’s Carteret site in North Carolina.
Starting in the late 1980s a continuous data set has been collected on the
hydrologic and water quality impacts of water and forest management
practices on this site. This unique data set includes measurements during
nearly all growth stages of a Loblolly pine plantation, with investigations
of the effects of thinning, harvesting, regeneration, controlled
drainage and other practices. The session will include papers summarizing
the findings of these studies and assessing the impacts of intensive
forest management on wetlands sites.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Scientists, engineers, researchers, managers, planners, economists, and
public officials are expected and strongly encouraged to attend this conference.
The conference organizers especially encourage participation
from international experts on forested wetlands.

27 – 29, June, 2005

Located in Jiangxi province, Poyang Lake is the largest fresh lake in China. Containing about 97% of Jiangxi province region, the Poyang Lake Basin serves as an important base for China’s economic development and a critical reserve area for biodiversity and ecological protection. Connecting upper stream watersheds with the Yangtze River, Poyang Lake is also crucial in ensuring flood control and maintaining the water level of the Yangtze River. Largely due to its unique geographic setting and the less developed economy in the Basin, Poyang Lake is one of few precious, clean lakes remaining in China. With the increasing population growth and economic development, however, a number of environmental problems have become a concern, including flooding, soil erosion and sedimentation, nonpoint source pollution, wetland depletion, urban sprawl, and water-borne diseases, etc. It would be hard to maintain the unique ecological system and clean water in the Poyang Lake Basin without sustainable development strategies. Given the unique economic and environmental roles of Poyang Lake, it is essential to understand the dynamics and impacts of human activities on fundamental processes of hydrology, water quality, ecology, and human health in order to develop sustainable policies to ensure economic prosperity and ecological integrity of the Poly Lake Basin.  Within this context, an international workshop on advanced watershed modeling and water resources and quality management is organized to facilitate scientific understanding, modeling, and management of watershed processes and to explore management scenarios in support of policy/decision making in the Poyang Lake Basin.

The conference will cover the following themes: (1) Watershed hydrology and fluxes; (2) Non-point source pollution; (3) Ecosystem dynamics; (4) Land use/cover change; (5) Public health; (6) Water resources management; (7) Wetland biodiversity; and (8) Sustainable resources and regional development. The conference will bring well-known international and national scholars to present the state-of-the-art theories, methods, and models on measurement, monitoring, analysis, modeling, and management of human impacts on the quantity, quality, movement, and processes of water resources and ecosystems at the watershed scale.  Through in-depth discussions and exchanges, the conference intends to explore the application of advanced models and methodologies to the studies of the ecosystems of Poyang Lake Basin, and to facilitate national and international collaborative researches on the ecological and hydrological processes of the Basin.
