“…Although flow in ephemeral streams is episodic, the biotic and abiotic components concentrated around their limited and stochastic water supply provide a sharp contrast to the semiarid uplands (Levick et al, 2008). Ecosystems within and adjacent to ephemeral streams provide services such as habitat, biodiversity, and basin aquifer recharge (e.g., Decamps et al, 2004;Shaw and Cooper, 2008); however the consequences of increased urbanization on these ecosystems and their related services are not well known. Additional services provided by these ecosystems which could be affected include: filtering of surface and ground water pollutants (Levick et al, 2008;Naiman and Decamps, 1997), reduction of stream energy during high flow events (Bull, 1997;Levick et al, 2008), stabilization of channel banks (Naiman and Decamps, 1997;Zaimes et al, 2004), mitigation of extreme temperatures (Naiman and Decamps, 1997), and provision of incision and sediment deposition (Bull, 1997;Levick et al, 2008;Naiman and Decamps, 1997).…”

“…Reviews by Steiger et al (2005) and Corenblit et al (2007) establish how landforms and physical processes drive the dynamics of biological communities. Strong linkages exist among watershed morphometry, stream hydro-geomorphology, and riparian plant communities in ephemeral stream networks (Shaw and Cooper 2008). An examination of the influence of landform features on the distribution of vegetation on floodplains along small channels in North America (Mollot et al 2008) found that landforms exerted a strong influence on the distribution of trees, shrubs, and understory plant species.…”

“…Streams that Xow only in response to large storm and runoV events and that have deep water tables, i.e. ephemeral streams, are common in dryland regions but have garnered less research attention (Uys and OKeeVe 1997;Shaw and Cooper 2008).…”
