Abiotic reductive dehalogenation of pharmaceuticals with naturally occurring redox mediators
Does high resolution in situ xylem and atmospheric vapor isotope data help improve modeled estimates of ecohydrological partitioning?
Electrical Conductivity as a Tracer for Seasonal Reverse Flow and Transport of Trace Organic Contaminants in River Spree
The authors studied if the electrical conductivity can serve as a hydrological tracer to capture the intensity and duration of seasonal reverse flow phases in a specific section of River Spree. Moreover, they studied the effect of upstream transport on chemical water quality, i.e. on trace organic contaminant during these reverse flow phases.
Vivianite as a phosphorus source in lake sediments: Importance of increased sulphate reduction on phosphorus mobilisation
Role of Suspended Particulate Matter for the Transport and Risks of Organic Micropollutant Mixtures in Rivers: A Comparison between Baseflow and High Discharge Conditions
The partition dynamics of organic micropollutants between water and suspended particulate matter in riverine ecosystems differs between dry and wet weather. Chemical concentrations and mixture effects in extracts from rivers are dominated by suspended particulate matter during rain, but the dissolved phase dominates during dry weather.
Contrasts in Ecohydrological Partitioning of Heterogeneous Urban Green Spaces in Energy-Limited Versus Water-Limited Hydroclimates
Seasonal and Inter-Annual Dynamics in Water Quality and Stream Metabolism in a Beaver-Impacted Drought-Sensitive Lowland Catchment
The authors monitored water quality parameters over 3 years in an intermittent stream network in the eutrophic, lowland Demnitzer Millcreek catchment, Germany. They focused on the effects of wetland systems impacted by beaver dams on the diurnal, seasonal and inter-annual variation in water quality dynamics and modelled stream metabolism.
Epiphyton phenology determines the persistence of submerged macrophytes: Exemplified in temperate shallow lakes
Assessment of the sediment load in the pearl river estuary based on land use and land cover changes
Tried and true vs. shiny and new: Method switching in long-term aquatic datasets
There is a shortage of discourse regarding the best practices in switching methods for long-term data collection in aquatic ecosystems. In this paper, factors that contribute to the successes and failures of method switches are discussed. The authors present three case studies that demonstrate successful method switching and then outline best practices for maintaining data integrity.
