Despite decades of effort toward reducing nitrogen and phosphorus flux to Chesapeake
Bay, water‐quality and ecological responses in surface waters have been mixed. Recent …

abstract Urban streams commonly express degraded physical, chemical, and biological
conditions that have been collectively termed the “urban stream syndrome”. The description …

Urban stream restoration is growing globally, but there is much to learn from successes,
failures, and evaluating tradeoffs in restoration practices. Significant time and resources …

Stormwater green infrastructure (SGI), including rain gardens, detention ponds, bioswales,
and green roofs, is being implemented in cities across the globe to reduce flooding …

Headwater streams draining urbanized watersheds are subject to frequent and intense
storm flows. These floods can disrupt metabolic processes occurring in benthic biofilms via …

Sustaining natural levels of base flow is critical to maintaining ecological function as stream
catchments are urbanized. Stream base flow responds variably to urbanization. Base flow or …

The growing human enterprise has sparked greater interest in identifying ecological
thresholds in land use conversion beyond which populations or communities demonstrate …

Urban streams and ecosystems are highly affected by the intense development of cities and
an increase of impervious surfaces. If these environments are close to their pristine state …

Synoptic sampling of streams is an inexpensive way to gain insight into the spatial
distribution of dissolved constituents in the subsurface critical zone. Few spatial synoptics …

A majority of environmental studies describe microbiomes at coarse scales of taxonomic
resolution (bacterial community, phylum), ignoring key ecological knowledge gained from …
