Stream Ecology: Structure and Function of Running Waters is designed to serve as a
textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and as a reference source for …

Over the past 3 decades, nutrient spiraling has become a unifying paradigm for stream
biogeochemical research. This paper presents (1) a quantitative synthesis of the nutrient …

Increasing research is highlighting the fact that streams provide crucial ecosystem services
through the biogeochemical and ecological processes they sustain. Freshwater land-based …

River ecosystems are subject to multiple stressors that affect their structure and functioning.
Ecosystem structure refers to characteristics such as channel form, water quality or the …

Agriculture is a major contributor of non‐point source pollution to surface waters in the
midwestern United States, resulting in eutrophication of freshwater aquatic ecosystems and …

Given recent focus on large rivers as conduits for excess nutrients to coastal zones, their role
in processing and retaining nutrients has been overlooked and understudied. Empirical …

As catchments become increasingly urban, the streams that drain them become increasingly
degraded. Urban streams are typically characterized by high‐magnitude storm flows …

Stream nutrient tracer additions and nutrient spiraling metrics are frequently used to quantify
lotic ecosystem behavior. Of particular concern is the influence nutrient concentration exerts …

The concept of nitrogen (N) saturation has organized the assessment of N loading in
terrestrial ecosystems. Here we extend the concept to lotic ecosystems by coupling …

Denitrification is an important net sink for NO 3− in streams, but direct measurements are
limited and in situ controlling factors are not well known. We measured denitrification at …
