Widespread deoxygenation in warming rivers

W Zhi, C Klingler, J Liu, L Li - Nature Climate Change, 2023 - nature.com
Deoxygenation is commonly observed in oceans and lakes but less expected in shallower,
flowing rivers. Here we reconstructed daily water temperature and dissolved oxygen in 580 …

Temperature outweighs light and flow as the predominant driver of dissolved oxygen in US rivers

W Zhi, W Ouyang, C Shen, L Li - Nature Water, 2023 - nature.com
The concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO), an important measure of water quality and river
metabolism, varies tremendously in time and space. Riverine DO is commonly perceived as …

Multi-year, spatially extensive, watershed scale synoptic stream chemistry and water quality conditions for six permafrost-underlain Arctic watersheds

AJ Shogren, JP Zarnetske, BW Abbott… - Earth System …, 2021 - essd.copernicus.org
Repeated sampling of spatially distributed river chemistry can be used to assess the

Watershed geomorphology modifies the sensitivity of aquatic ecosystem metabolism to temperature

KJ Jankowski, DE Schindler - Scientific reports, 2019 - nature.com
The regulation of aquatic carbon cycles by temperature is a significant uncertainty in our
understanding of how watersheds will respond to climate change. Aquatic ecosystems …

Kilometer‐scale hydrologic exchange flows in a gravel bed river corridor and their implications to solute migration

JM Zachara, X Chen, X Song, P Shuai… - Water Resources …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
A well‐characterized field site along a major, gravel bed river corridor was used to
investigate the dynamic pathways and impacts of subsurface hydrogeologic structure on …

Dissolved organic carbon lability increases with water residence time in the alluvial aquifer of a river floodplain ecosystem

AM Helton, MS Wright, ES Bernhardt… - Journal of …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
