Driven by the need for integrated management of groundwater (GW) and surface water
(SW), quantification of GW–SW interactions and associated contaminant transport has …

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 …

Previously regarded as the passive drains of watersheds, over the past 50 years, rivers have
progressively been recognized as being actively connected with off‐channel environments …

Rivers are important ecosystems under continuous anthropogenic stresses. The hyporheic
zone is a ubiquitous, reactive interface between the main channel and its surrounding …

In this chapter, the authors aim to uncover the organizational principles–the main drivers
and controls, and their interactions and feedbacks–that determine the development and …

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 …

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 …

Global quantitative estimations of ecosystem functions are vital. Among those, ecosystem
respiration and photosynthesis contribute to carbon cycling and energy flow to food webs …

Shallow benthic biolayers at the top of the streambed are believed to be places of enhanced
biogeochemical turnover within the hyporheic zone. They can be investigated by reactive …

The significance of freshwaters as key players in the global budget of both carbon dioxide
and methane has recently been highlighted. In particular, rivers clearly do not act simply as …
