Stream temperature is one of the most critical factors controlling aquatic ecosystem health.
Practitioners and researchers from a range of fields, including biology, ecology, hydrology …

Atmospheric concentrations of the powerful greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N 2 O) have
increased dramatically over the last 100 years, and part of these emissions come from …

Fifty years of hyporheic zone research have shown the important role played by the
hyporheic zone as an interface between groundwater and surface waters. However, it is only …

Connectivity describes the degree to which matter and organisms can move among spatially
defined units in a natural system. River connectivity is typically described in longitudinal …

Fine sediment represents an important part of the solid flux of rivers. Due to the size of these
particles, they are often transported as suspended load. They gradually fill the pores of the …

Hydrologic connections can link hillslopes to channel networks, streams to lakes, subsurface
to surface, land to atmosphere, terrestrial to aquatic, and upstream to downstream. These …

Floodplains perform diverse functions, including attenuation of fluxes of water, solutes, and
particulate material. Critical details of floodplain storage including magnitude, duration, and …

The hyporheic zone, defined by shallow subsurface pathways through river beds and banks
beginning and ending at the river, is an integral and unique component of fluvial systems. It …

The hyporheic zone is an ecotone connecting the stream and groundwater ecosystem that
plays a significant role for stream biogeochemistry. Water exchange across the stream …

Interactions between groundwater (GW) and surface water (SW) have important implications
for water quantity, water quality, and ecological health. The subsurface region proximal to …
