ABSTRACT Land‐use change and climate change are reshaping watershed ecological functions and may intensify the risk of localized ecological degradation. However, existing studies have primarily focused on the spatiotemporal patterns of ecosystem services (ESs) during historical periods, while the nonlinear changes, spatial heterogeneity, and driving ...

Abstract Terrestrial subsidies shape aquatic ecosystem structure and function, serving as important energy channels for consumers when phytoplankton and other autochthonous resources are limited. Despite this, quantifying the assimilation of allochthonous nutrients by aquatic consumers can be challenging. Here, we show terrestrial plants, benthic algae,

The Brazilian Northeast shelters fragments of the Atlantic Forest that, although historically under‐sampled, are home to a high diversity of organisms. In this context, conidial fungi are crucial for ecological balance, standing out for their role in the decomposition of organic matter and nutrient cycling.

THE ECOLOGY OF INTERFACES:Riparian Zones
Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, 1997Riparian zones possess an unusually diverse array of species and environmental processes. The ecological diversity is related to variable flood regimes, geographically unique channel processes, altitudinal climate shifts, and upland influences on the fluvial corridor.

Riparian Buffer Zones: Functions and Dimensioning
This article presents a scientific overview of the basic implementation of the principles of ecological engineering in riparian zone management and restoration. Buffer zones transform a pollutant signal as a sink within the catchment area from source emission to surface water bodies.

Upflow Reactors for Riparian Zone Denitrification
Journal of Environmental Quality, 2006ABSTRACTWe used permeable reactive subsurface barriers consisting of a C source (wood particles), with very high hydraulic conductivities (∼0.1–1 cm s−1), to provide high rates of riparian zone NO3–N removal at two field sites in an agricultural area of southwestern Ontario.

Sedimentation in the riparian zone of an incising river
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2001This paper focuses on one aspect of riparian zone change associated with channel incision. It presents information on sedimentation within the riparian zone of the River Garonne, France, derived from both historical and contemporary sources. The riparian zone investigated is morphologically complex, containing a remant island and cut-off channel ...

Denitrification Potential in Urban Riparian Zones
Journal of Environmental Quality, 2003ABSTRACTDenitrification, the anaerobic microbial conversion of nitrate NO−3 to nitrogen (N) gases, is an important process contributing to the ability of riparian zones to function as “sinks” for NO−3 in watersheds. There has been little analysis of riparian zones in urban watersheds despite concerns about high NO−3 concentrations in many urban streams.
