Ecohydrological resilience and the landscape water storage continuum in droughts
A better understanding of water storage dynamics at medium scales, i.e. areas between 10 and 100 square kilometres, could help to better predict and ensure the availability of water resources, even in times of climate change. To this end, the researchers here synthesised findings from several long-term studies and introduced the concept of ecohydrological resilience.

Light over mechanics: microbial community structure and activity in simulated migrating bedforms are controlled by oscillating light rather than by mechanical forces
The authors tested the effect of 3 migration velocities as well as oscillating and constant light conditions on the structure and function of the microbial community residing in sediments from migrating ripple and stationary patches: Light oscillation is the predominating environmental factor during ripple migration, resulting in an increased vulnerability of light-dependent photoautotrophs.
Migrating ripples create streambed heterogeneity altering microbial diversity and metabolic activity
The field study compared sediment characteristics as well as multitrophic diversity and function in two vertical layers of migrating ripples and stationary patches in sandy lowland streams. It indicates that migrating bedforms create streambed heterogeneity by modulating the abundance, diversity, and structure of different trophic guilds of microbial communities and their resource acquisition.
