The aim of this session is to give an overview and share the developments being made in the field of interactions between forest- and snow properties and about the underlying ecological and hydrological processes under tree canopies . We particularly welcome contributions that are cross disciplinary and encompass forest ecology/soil science as well as hydrology/meteorology. The session should thus provide a basis to better understand the implications of changes in forest cover and snow regimes on ecosystem functioning and services.
