Seasonal and Inter-Annual Dynamics in Water Quality and Stream Metabolism in a Beaver-Impacted Drought-Sensitive Lowland Catchment

Famin Wang; Doerthe Tetzlaff; Christian Birkel; Jonas Freymueller; Songjun Wu; Sylvia Jordan; Chris Soulsby

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.

Ontogenetic shifts by juvenile fishes highlight the need for habitat heterogeneity and connectivity in river restoration

Twan Stoffers; Anthonie D. Buijse; Jan Jaap Poos; Johan A. J. Verreth; Leopold A. J. Nagelkerke

The authors analysed the habitat use of larval and juvenile fishes in the lower river Rhine. More than 60 per cent of the fish species switched between five different habitat types during their development, which should be available both in the river and connected floodplains. However, human intervention has drastically altered and homogenised the European river landscapes.

Hydrological connectivity and biogeochemical dynamics in the function and management of the lower Oder floodplain

Hanwu Zheng; Doerthe Tetzlaff; Christian Birkel; Jana Chmieleski; Jean-Christophe Comte; Jonas Freymueller; Tobias Goldhammer; Axel Schmidt; Ellen Wohl; Chris Soulsby

The authors investigated the role of hydrological connectivity dynamics on biogeochemistry in the Oder river-floodplain system through a multi-proxy approach to quantify water sources and ages, evaporation losses, water quality, surface water connectivity via remote sensing and sub-surface connectivity via geophysical surveys. This is important to sustain vulnerable wetlands.
