This review summarizes data on exports of carbon from a large number of temperate and
boreal catchments in North America, Europe and New Zealand. Organic carbon losses …

Riparian zones hold a central place in the hydrological cycle, owing to the prevalence of
surface and groundwater interactions. In riparian transition zones, the quality of exfiltrating …

Along a single stream riffle, there is a typical flow pattern in which surface water enters the
hyporheic zone in a downwelling zone at the head of the riffle and hyporheic water returns to …

Conflicting views on the potential importance of soil water as a source of dissolved organic
carbon (DOC) in headwater streams are addressed by comparing organic chemistries of soil …

The bacterial community composition in small streams and a river in central Germany was
examined by temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TGGE) with PCR products of 16S …

1. In laboratory experiments, 9.7–25.7% of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in groundwater
(at concentrations of 18.7–24.8 mg 1‐− 1) was immobilized after perfusion through 8‐cm …

Bacteria play an extraordinarily important role in carbon transformations. It is therefore
crucial to accurately measure bacterial production. One of the most widely used methods is …

The heterotrophic metabolism of a forest stream sediment was studied during leaf fall,
immediately after a flood that completely scoured and homogenized the first 10 to 12 cm of …

SUMMARY 1 Stream‐management decisions must produce an optimal cost‐effect ratio, as
related to social, ecological and economic concerns. Therefore, decisions must be reached …

The leucine incorporation technique was evaluated and optimised for measuring bacterial
production in stream-bed sediments. The original procedure was modified in order to obtain …
