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

Biological 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

Biological 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.

Under Surveyed and Under Pressure: Additional Biodiversity Uncovered in the Freshwater Mussels (Unionida: Velesunioninae) of North‐Western Australia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Here, we tested for cryptic diversity within freshwater mussels in north‐western Australia and identified multiple undescribed lineages. Distributional patterns were complex with some taxa displaying evidence of potentially recent long‐distance dispersal whereas others were more restricted in their distributions.

Hydrolysis of sulfamethoxazole in the hyporheic zone: kinetics, factors and pathways

Environmental Technology, 2023
It is unknown how antibiotics would behave after entering the hyporheic zone (HZ), which is an area where groundwater and surface water alternate continuously. In this study, the hydrolysis process in the HZ was investigated based on the intermediates identified by HPLC-Q-TOF-MS and FTIR, and the active sites of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) were predicted by

Controls on mixing‐dependent denitrification in hyporheic zones induced by riverbed dunes: A steady state modeling study

Water Resources Research, 2014
The hyporheic zone is known to attenuate contaminants originating from surface water, yet the ability of the hyporheic zone to attenuate contaminants in upwelling groundwater plumes as they exit to surface water is less understood.

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

Earth 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.

Quantifying nutrient fluxes with a new hyporheic passive flux meter (HPFM) [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2017
The hyporheic zone is a hotspot of biogeochemical turnover and nutrient removal in running waters. However, nutrient fluxes through the hyporheic zone are highly variable in time and locally heterogeneous.

Engineered Gravel Trench Hyporheic Exchange to Create Cold‐Water Thermal Refuges

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 1054-1068, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Warming rivers are driving a loss or fragmentation of cold‐water habitat and providing the impetus to develop proactive thermal management approaches to maintain suitable habitat in rivers. One innovative approach is through the creation of cold‐water thermal refuges during periods of thermal stress for aquatic species.

Revealing chlorinated ethene transformation hotspots in a nitrate-impacted hyporheic zone [PDF]

, 2019
Hyporheic zones are increasingly thought of as natural bioreactors, capable of transforming and attenuating groundwater pollutants present in diffuse baseflow.

Stream Temperature Response to Increased Shading Due To Riparian Shrubification in Northern Latitudes

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Global warming is causing rapid and profound impacts on northern ecosystems. Shifting precipitation, permafrost thaw, and rapid shrub advance into tundra environments are combining to alter stream temperature in uncertain ways. The expansion and increased abundance of shrub vegetation, termed shrubification, may moderate warming stream ...
