A “smart” tracer is a tracer that provides, directly or through measurement of its concentration or in combination with another compound, at least one “bit” more of information about the environment through which it travels than a conservative tracer. In this study we propose and present the chemical compound resazurin...
We propose the experimental use of resazurin (Raz) and develop a metabolically active transient storage (MATS) model to include processes that may provide additional information on transient storage from a biogeochemical perspective in stream ecosystems. Raz is a phenoxazine compound that reduces irreversibly to resorufin (Rru) in the presence of...
This study examined the effect of increasing in-channel leaf standing stocks on hydrologic transient storage and nutrient retention in a Mediterranean mountain stream. A flood at the end of the leaf fall period provided the opportunity to examine the effect of abrupt removal of much of the leaf material. Twenty-one...
In October 2000, the Matarranya River suffered an extraordinary flood with a measured flow rate of approximately 450 m³/s in
the town of Vall-de-roures and a return period of about 500 years, according to the Ebro Hydrographic Confederation. The
objective of this study was to determine the influence of the...
Coastal wetlands are characterized by high biodiversity, which is one of the main criteria considered when establishing protection policies or when proposing adequate management actions. In this study, the crustacean and aquatic insect composition of the Emporda wetlands is described. These two faunal groups contribute highly to the total biodiversity...
