Abstract In Europe and North America the prevailing model of “natural” lowland streams is
incised-meandering channels with silt-clay floodplains, and this is the typical template for …

Floodplains perform diverse functions, including attenuation of fluxes of water, solutes, and
particulate material. Critical details of floodplain storage including magnitude, duration, and …

Floodplains are key ecosystems of riverine landscapes and provide a multitude of
ecosystem services. In most of the large river systems worldwide, a tremendous reduction of …

Three-dimensional variably saturated flow and multicomponent biogeochemical reactive
transport modeling, based on published and newly generated data, is used to better …

Conceptual models of river–floodplain systems and biogeochemical theory predict that
floodplain soil nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) mineralization should increase with …

Species diversity is affected by processes operating at multiple spatial scales, although the
most relevant scales that contribute to compositional variation and the temporal shifts of the …

The hyporheic zone is the subsurface area below and adjacent to a stream where
groundwater mixes with stream water, through vertical, lateral, and longitudinal flows. The …

Greater connectivity to stream surface water may result in greater inputs of allochthonous
nutrients that could stimulate internal nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) cycling in natural …

Understanding the controls on floodplain carbon (C) cycling is important for assessing
greenhouse gas emissions and the potential for C sequestration in river‐floodplain …

Riparian zones play a fundamental role in regulating the amount of carbon (C) and nitrogen
(N) that is exported from catchments. However, C and N removal via soil gaseous pathways …
