Although stream ecosystems are recognized as an important component of the global carbon cycle, the impact of climate-induced hydrological changes on carbon fluxes in stream networks remain unclear. We will discuss the effects of changes in snowmelt hydrol ...
In-stream nitrate removal capacity may be used as a proxy for the ecosystem service of water quality regulation. It is well known that this natural function is driven by abiotic and biotic factors in running water environments. With regard to biotic dri ...
Stream ecosystem metabolism integrates production and respiration of organic matter and plays a fundamental role in the global carbon (C) cycle. Several studies have identified distal and proximal physical controls, for example, land use and transient s ...
Although aquatic ecologists and biogeochemists are well aware of the crucial importance of ecosystem functions, i.e., how biota drive biogeochemical processes and vice-versa, linking these fields in conceptual models is still uncommon. Attempts to explain ...
Changes in the riparian vegetation along stream channels, diurnal light availability, and longitudinal fluctuations in the local light regime in streams influence primary production and carbon (C) cycling in benthic stream biofilms. To investigate the infl ...
Streams and rivers form dense networks, shape the Earth's surface and, in their sediments, provide an immensely large surface area for microbial growth. Biofilms dominate microbial life in streams and rivers, drive crucial ecosystem processes and contribut ...
Analysis of chlorophyll-a map from remote sensing satellite data (MERIS) showed a consistent low concentration biomass in the middle of Lake Geneva for about two weeks in autumn 2009. A three dimensional hydrodynamic model (Delft3D-flow) validated with tem ...
Petroleum is produced by thermal decay of buried organic material over millions of years. Petroleum oilfield ecosystems represent resource of reduced carbon which favours microbial growth. Therefore, it is obvious that many microorganisms have adapted to h ...
Stream ecosystem metabolism modulates organic carbon (OC) cycling in rivers and regulates downstream OC fluxes. Climate-change scenarios predict precipitation to shift from snow towards rain in alpine ecosystems, however consequences of this shift to strea ...
Fluvial networks play an important role in regional and global carbon (C) budgets. The Seine River, from the Paris urban area to the entrance of its estuary (220km), is studied here as an example of a large human-impacted river system subject to temperate ...
