Ecohydrology is a multidisciplinary field that examines the interactions between ecological and hydrological processes within ecosystems. It studies how water availability, movement, and quality influence the distribution, structure, and function of ecosystems, and how ecosystems, in turn, affect water cycling, storage, and quality. Processes studied in ecohydrology include precipitation, evaporation, transpiration, groundwater flow, surface runoff, soil moisture dynamics, nutrient cycling, plant-water interactions, and their ecological consequences.
