Abstract. Streams are important sources of carbon to the atmosphere, though knowing whether they merely outgas terrestrially derived dioxide or mineralize terrestrial inputs dissolved organic matter (DOM) is still a big challenge in ecology. The objective this study was investigate influence riparian groundwater (GW) and in-stream processes on temporal pattern stream DOM concentrations quality forested headwater stream, differed between leaf litter fall (LLF) period remaining part year...
Patchy global data on belowground litter decomposition dynamics limit our capacity to discern the drivers of carbon preservation and storage across inland coastal wetlands. We performed a global, multiyear study in over 180 wetlands 28 countries 8 macroclimates using standardized as measures "recalcitrant" (rooibos tea) "labile" (green organic matter (OM) decomposition. Freshwater tidal marshes had highest tea mass remaining, indicating greater potential for these ecosystems. Recalcitrant OM...
Abstract Wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents alter water chemistry and in-stream nutrient uptake rates of receiving freshwaters, thus changing the magnitude fate nutrients exported. In Mediterranean regions, dilution capacity streams can vary strongly over time due to seasonal occurrence floods droughts, causing temporal variability uptake. We assessed patterns controlling factors net in an intermittent stream WWTP effluent inputs. compiled longitudinal concentration profiles ambient...

Abstract Effluents from wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) affect water chemistry and in-stream nutrient uptake capacity receiving freshwaters, thus altering the amount fate of nutrients exported. In Mediterranean regions, dilution streams to buffer WWTP biogeochemical fingerprint can vary seasonally due changes in hydrologic conditions. We assessed temporal patterns controls on an intermittent stream effluent inputs. compiled data longitudinal profiles ambient concentrations dissolved...
