Surface transient storage (STS) and hyporheic transient storage (HTS) have
functional significance in stream ecology and hydrology. Both provide refugia for aquatic
communities and their longer mean residence times (compared to the main flow) increase
the potential for biogeochemical reactions that can improve water quality. As STS and
HTS have...

STS types and development of predictive meanresidencetime relationships. Second, the best estimate
In field studies of solute transport, transient storage within lateral cavities and other stream features generates
breakthrough curves (BTCs) with pronounced and persistent skewness. Current solute transport
theory requires that the coefficient of skewness (CSK) decrease over time because the system eventually
reaches Fickian conditions. However, published data show that...
Most studies to date in the humid tropics have described a similar pattern of rapid translation of rainfall to runoff via overland flow and shallow subsurface stormflow. However, study sites have been few overall, and one particular system has received very little attention so far: tropical montane cloud forests (TMCF)...
The ability to determine a bulk estuarine turnover timescale that is well defined under realistic conditions is in high demand for estuarine research and management. We compare how turnover timescales vary with tidal and river forcing from idealized forcing scenarios using a three-dimensional circulation model of the Yaquina Bay estuary...
Excess NO₃⁻ in streams is a growing and persistent problem for both inland and coastal ecosystems, and denitrification is the primary removal process for NO₃⁻. Hyporheic zones can have high denitrification potentials, but their role in reach- and network-scale NO₃⁻ removal is unknown because it is difficult to estimate. We...
Temperate forests play an important role in the global
carbon cycle, and are thought to currently be a sink for
atmospheric CO₂. However, we lack understanding of
the drivers of forest carbon accumulation and loss,
hampering our ability to predict carbon cycle
responses to global change. In this study, we...
