Combined Surface-Subsurface Stream Restoration Structures Can Optimize Hyporheic Attenuation of Stream Water Contaminants

Skuyler P. Herzog; Jason Galloway; Eddie W. Banks; Malte Posselt; Anna Jaeger; Andrea Portmann; René Sahm; Björn Kusebauch; Jörg Lewandowski; Adam S. Ward

A numerical model was used to evaluate engineered stream restoration structures and how to maximise their impact on hyporheic contaminant attenuation. Combined surface-subsurface structures were able to simultaneously increase hyporheic fluxes and transit times, providing conditions for contaminant attenuation that were many times more effective than surface or subsurface structures alone.

Time Series of Electrical Conductivity Fluctuations Give Insights Into Long-Term Solute Transport Dynamics of an Urban Stream

Anna Jaeger; Jonas L. Schaper; Paul Romeijn; Andrea Betterle; Malte Posselt; Stefan Krause; Jörg Lewandowski; Joakim Riml

A solute transport model was applied to diurnal electrical conductivity fluctuations in a river to obtain long-term time series of transport metrics. The study showed that differences in transport metrics occur in adjacent river reaches and that mowing of macrophytes can increase the transient storage area.

Improved understanding of vegetation dynamics and wetland ecohydrology via monthly UAV-based classification

Songjun Wu; Doerthe Tetzlaff; Hauke Daempfling; Chris Soulsby

The authors conducted monthly UAV flights for 2 years in a riparian wetland in Germany. Such multi-flight-based classification outperformed single-flight-based ones, providing a picture of vegetation community evolution. Apart from contributing to an evidence base for wetland management, such multi-flight UAV vegetation mapping could provide fundamental insights into their landscape ecohydrology.

High-resolution in situ stable isotope measurements reveal contrasting atmospheric vapour dynamics above different urban vegetation

Ann-Marie Ring; Dörthe Tetzlaff; Maren Dubbert; David Dubbert; Chris Soulsby

The authors monitored stable water isotopes in precipitation and atmospheric water vapour in-situ in an urban green space in Berlin to understand the origins of atmospheric moisture and its link to water partitioning under contrasting urban vegetation. This improved constraining the isotopic interface between the atmosphere and the land.

Urban stormwater capture for water supply: look out for persistent, mobile and toxic substances

Lena Mutzner; Kefeng Zhang; Richard G. Luthy; Hans Peter H. Arp; Stephanie Spahr

Persistent, mobile and toxic (PMT) substances pose a threat to water supplies and aquatic ecosystems. This review article presents our current knowledge on PMT substances in urban stormwater and identifies future research needs for improved stormwater monitoring and management.

Predicting PFAS and Hydrophilic Trace Organic Contaminant Transport in Black Carbon-Amended Engineered Media Filters for Improved Stormwater Runoff Treatment

James Conrad Pritchard; Yeo-Myoung Cho; Kathleen Mills Hawkins; Stephanie Spahr; Christopher P. Higgins; Richard G. Luthy

Hydrophilic organic contaminants and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are difficult to remove from stormwater runoff. A contaminant transport model was validated to better estimate the removal of contaminants in stormwater filtration systems.

Hypotheses in urban ecology: building acommon knowledge base

Sophie Lokatis; Jonathan M. Jeschke; Maud Bernard-Verdier; Sascha Buchholz; Hans-Peter Grossart; Frank Havemann; Franz Hölker; Yuval Itescu; Ingo Kowarik; Stephanie Kramer-Schadt; Daniel Mietchen; Camille L. Musseau; Aimara Planillo; Conrad Schittko; Tanja M. Straka; Tina Heger

This study identified 62 research hypotheses used in urban ecology and mapped them in a conceptual network. It is the first such network, which also clusters urban ecology hypotheses into four distinct themes: (i) Urban species traits & evolution, (ii) Urban biotic communities, (iii) Urban habitats and (iv) Urban ecosystems.

The comprehensive study shows that between 1968 and 2010, biodiversity in river systems in 22 European countries initially recovered due to improved water quality. Since 2010, however, biodiversity has stagnated; many river systems have not fully recovered. The researchers therefore urgently recommend additional measures to further promote the recovery of biodiversity in inland waters.

Microplastics are found in lakes and reservoirs around the world. Pollution reaches even the most secluded places where human influence is minimal. Moreover, concentrations of microplastics in freshwaters are sometimes higher than in subtropical gyres, the marine areas where large amounts of waste accumulate.
