Spatial drivers of ecosystem structure and function in a floodplain riverscape: springbrook nutrient dynamics

Abstract: On riverine flood plains, reorganization by fluvial processes creates and maintains a mosaic of aquatic and riparian landscape elements across a biophysical gradient of disturbance and succession. Across flood plains of gravel-bottom rivers, spring brooks emerge from points of groundwater discharge that may occur in distinct landscape positions. We investigated how ecosystem processes in spring brooks differ spatially across biophysical zones, reflecting how landscape position dictates severity of flood distur… Show more

“…Comparable relationships probably exist in the ecological dynamics of groundwater zones, but those relationships are rarely investigated. Caldwell et al (2015) explored groundwater-ecology links along a habitat gradient from frequently scoured parafluvial zones to infrequently scoured orthofluvial zones in the Nyack floodplain. Groundwater discharge, fine sediment, woody debris, particulate organic matter, algal biomass, and areal NO 3 − uptake rates all increased along this gradient.…”
