Abstract:<p>Dissolved oxygen (DO) in the hyporheic zone (HZ) is a crucial parameter for the survival of many stream organisms and is involved in a multitude of aerobic chemical reactions. However, HZ DO budgets are easily perturbed by climate change and anthropogenic processes that have caused increased deposition of fine sediments (< 2 mm) in many stream beds. The fine sediment fraction hampers exchange of DO-rich stream water with the HZ. In this study we performed a raster sampling approach (0.9… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
