Freshwater ecosystems in the mid- to
upper-latitudes of the northern hemisphere are particularly
vulnerable to the impact of climate change as
slight changes in air temperature can alter the form,
timing, and magnitude of precipitation and consequent
influence of snowmelt on streamflow dynamics. Here,
we examine the effects of hydro-climate,...

There is no scientific consensus about how dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in surface waters is regulated. Here we combine recent literature data from 49 catchments with detailed stream and catchment process information from nine well established research catchments at mid- to high latitudes to examine the question of how climate...
Hydrologic processes control much of the export of organic matter and nutrients from
the land surface. It is the variability of these hydrologic processes that produces variable
patterns of nutrient transport in both space and time. In this paper, we explore how
hydrologic ‘‘connectivity’’ potentially affects nutrient transport. Hydrologic connectivity...
