Spatial variability in the hyporheic zone refugium of temporary streams [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A key ecological role hypothesized for the hyporheic zone is as a refugium that promotes survival of benthic invertebrates during adverse conditions in the surface stream.

Faunal response to benthic and hyporheic sedimentation varies with direction of vertical hydrological exchange [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
1. Sedimentation and clogging of benthic and hyporheic zone substrates is increasingly being recognised as one of the greatest threats to the ecological integrity of riverine ecosystems globally. This ex-situ study examined the influence of sedimentation

How daily groundwater table drawdown affects the diel rhythm of hyporheic exchange [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Groundwater table dynamics extensively modify the volume of the hyporheic zone and the rate of hyporheic exchange processes. Understanding the effects of daily groundwater table fluctuations on the tightly coupled flow and heat transport within hyporheic

Longitudinal transformation of nitrogen and carbon in the hyporheic zone of an N-rich stream: A combined modelling and field study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A combined modelling and field study approach was used to examine biogeochemical functioning of the hyporheic zone in two gravel bars in an N-rich fourth-order stream (River Hers, south-west France).

Influence of the hyporheic zone on the phosphorus dynamics of a large gravel-bed river, Garonne River, France [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Phosphorus (P) concentrations in sediments and in surface and interstitial water from three gravel bars in a large river (Garonne River, southern France) were measured daily, downstream of a wastewater treatment plant for a city of 740 000 inhabitants ...

Hyporheic exchange due to channel‐spanning logs [PDF]

open access: yesWater Resources Research, 2011
The flow of river water around large woody debris (LWD) creates pressure gradients along the riverbed that drive a large zone of river‐groundwater mixing, or hyporheic exchange. Flume experiments and numerical simulations show that river water downwells into the riverbed upstream of a channel‐spanning log and upwells downstream.

Breakthrough curve moments scaling in hyporheic exchange [PDF]

open access: yesWater Resources Research, 2015
AbstractThe interaction between stream flow and bed forms creates an uneven distribution of near‐bed energy heads, which is the driving force of hyporheic exchange. Owing to the large disparity of advection characteristic times in the stream and within the hyporheic zone, solute mass exchange is often modeled by considering the latter as an immobile ...

The Sensitivity of Hyporheic Exchange to Fractal Properties of Riverbeds

open access: yesWater Resources Research, 2020
AbstractHyporheic exchange in riverbeds is driven by current‐bed topography interactions. Because riverbeds exhibit topographic roughness across scales, from individual grains to bedforms and bars, they can exhibit fractal patterns. This study analyzed the influence of fractal properties of riverbed topography on hyporheic exchange.

The hyporheic zone as an invertebrate refuge: a review of variability in space, time, taxa and behaviour [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The hyporheic zone is a potential refuge that can promote persistence of benthic invertebrates during adverse conditions in surface streams. For decades, changes in invertebrate depth distribution have been investigated in relation to flood, low flow and

Benthic and hyporheic invertebrate community responses to seasonal flow recession in a groundwater-dominated stream

open access: yes, 2010
Natural hydrological variability in lotic ecosystems can include prolonged periods of flow recession. A reduction in discharge is accompanied by abiotic changes in benthic and hyporheic habitats, often including reductions in s habitat availability ...
