The role of allochthonous organic matter in lotic ecosystems has been an important research
topic among aquatic ecologists since the seminal work by Lindeman was published in 1942 …

The southern United States is characterized by a humid, subtropical climate and consists of
16 states (Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky …

Environmental transitions often result in resource mixtures that overcome limitations to
microbial metabolism, resulting in biogeochemical hotspots and moments. Riverine systems …

River health monitoring traditionally has made use of structural measurements (water quality
or taxonomic composition of aquatic organisms). We argue that a more complete …

Over the last 25 y, stream ecosystem theory has expanded to include explicitly the vertical
dimension of surface–groundwater linkages via the hyporheic zone and below alluvial …

The interface between groundwater and surface water within riverine/riparian ecosystems—
the hyporheic zone (HZ)—is experiencing a rapid growth of research interest from a range of …

1. We studied whole‐ecosystem metabolism in eight streams from several biomes in North
America to identify controls on the rate of stream metabolism over a large geographic range …

The hyporheic corridor (HC) encompasses the river–groundwater continuum, where the
mixing of groundwater (GW) with river water (RW) in the HC can stimulate biogeochemical …

River channels tend to a dynamic equilibrium driven by the dynamics of water and sediment
discharge. The resulting fluctuating pattern of channel form is affected by the slope, the …

Stoffhaushalt ist die Summe des Stoff-und Energieumsatzes in einem Ökosystem. Die
Untersuchung des Stoffhaushaltes eines Gewässers geht von der Feststellung der gelösten …
