Assessing Spatial Riverbed Clogging and Its Dynamics at the Reach Scale: A Coupled Approach Combining Field Measurements and 1D Hydro‐Sedimentary Numerical Modeling

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Assessing spatial and temporal variability of clogging in gravel‐bed rivers is challenging because field methods typically rely on labor‐intensive measurements of fine‐sediment content, porosity, or hydraulic conductivity. Clogging is also highly dynamic, driven by hydro‐sedimentary conditions; yet few studies have examined it at large scales ...

Significance of Hyporheic Exchange for Predicting Microplastic Fate in Rivers

open access: yes, 2020
Microplastics are abundantly found in streambed sediments, including both small and low-density particles of neutral and positive buoyancy. Although the flow of water into streambed sediments (hyporheic exchange) has previously been shown to increase the

Experimental Study on Fine Sediment Infiltration (FSI) Processes in Different Gravel Mixtures

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fine sediment infiltration (FSI) can lead to riverbed clogging, thereby degrading important habitats for aquatic biota in the hyporheic interstitial zone of gravel‐bed rivers (e.g., by reducing oxygen availability). This stress on rivers may increase from anthropogenic influences and can be counteracted by artificial gravel augmentation to ...

Hyporheic exchange processes of pore-scale microplastics

open access: yesScience of The Total Environment
The transport of microplastics in the hyporheic zone remains poorly understood with few studies attempting to quantify microplastic hyporheic exchange processes. A laboratory scale erosimeter was utilized in combination with fluorometric techniques to experimentally quantify the dispersion of 3D pore-scale microplastics across the hyporheic zone ...

Reconnaissance‐Scale Methods for the Identification of Groundwater Discharge to Streams

open access: yesGroundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.
Abstract Identifying groundwater discharge locations is critical for understanding and monitoring groundwater contributions to streams in terms of water quantity and quality. Streams and rivers are under increasing strain from factors, including increased urbanization, agricultural land use, groundwater extraction, and climate change, which can alter ...

Estimates of Spawning Stream Contributions to an Imperilled Bull Trout Metapopulation Utilizing Otolith Geochemistry and Redd Counts

open access: yesEcology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Migratory fish species have experienced substantial declines throughout aquatic habitats, but actions to manage and conserve migratory species require a better understanding of the relative contributions of local populations to the metapopulation.

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1091-1119, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1582-1605, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Hydrodynamic and ecological effects of engineered logjams: Insights from field observations

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
Drone imaging, LSPIV and electrofishing data quantified restoration effects of engineered logjam at the Emme River (Switzerland). Placement and discharge shaped flow: Side jams created longer wakes, centre jams stronger mixing; and lower discharge intensified gap velocities, whereas wake length remained stable.

Hotspots and Blind Spots in Global River Temperature Science: Implications for Evidencing Climate Adaptation

open access: yesHydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.
This systematic review and bibliometric synthesis of 529 primary studies (1990–2025) maps the thematic, methodological and geographic structure of river water temperature (Tw) science. Evidence is concentrated in high‐income temperate regions, local or catchment‐scale studies, daily data and statistical modelling.
