Blackwater events are characterised by a high concentration of dissolved organic carbon in
the water column. They occur naturally in lowland rivers with forested floodplains and bring …

It has been well documented that agricultural activities lead to significant alterations in
surface water dissolved organic matter (DOM), yet their impacts on groundwater DOM …

We evaluated variation in dissolved organic matter (DOM) export as a function of hydrology
and land use from a large arid river basin in northwestern China. Two soil‐derived, humic …

Environmental flows are managed events in river systems designed to enhance the
ecological condition of aquatic ecosystems. Although not traditionally seen as important in …

Dissolved organic carbon export from floodplain litter during flood events is an important
energy subsidy for lowland rivers. Temperature affects both the release and decomposition …

Large floodplain rivers in dryland regions are becoming increasingly modified through water
resource developments. Identifying ecosystem responses in these systems is challenging …

The pulsing of river discharge affects biodiversity and productivity of whole river–floodplain
ecosystems, triggering the transport, storage and processing of carbon. In this study we …

For well over 100 years the twin objectives of navigation/transportation and flood-risk
management have led to an intensively managed Mississippi River system which …

Overbank floods in modified lowland rivers often inundate a mosaic of different land uses
(eg forests, crops and pastures) on the floodplain. We used a glasshouse experiment to …

Biocomplexity is an emergent property of ecosystems that captures the interplay of structures
and processes at multiple scales. These interactions can establish a dynamic habitat …
