Hillslope hydrologic connectivity controls riparian groundwater turnover: Implications of catchment structure for riparian buffering and stream water sources
[1] Hydrologic connectivity between catchment upland and near stream areas is essential for the transmission of water, solutes, and nutrients to streams. However, our current understanding of the role of riparian zones in mediating landscape hydrologic connectivity and the catchment scale export of water and solutes is limited. We tested the relationship between the duration of hillslope‐ripari...
متن کاملStream and Riparian Ecology
Water is a valuable resource for humans (direct consumption, power, irrigation, industry) and provides essential habitat for many organisms, including highly valued fish species such as salmonids. Aquatic habitat is influenced by processes active not only in the near-stream (riparian) zone (e.g., provision of shade) but also over the entire watershed (e.g., hillslope hydrologic processes that c...
متن کاملA stream visual assessment protocol (SVAP) for riparian landowners.
A user-friendly Stream Visual Assessment Protocol (SVAP) was recently developed in a joint effort by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the University of Georgia. SVAP was designed to be an introductory screening-level assessment method for people unfamiliar with stream assessments. It was designed for use by NRCS field staff who work wit...
متن کاملStream Traffic Communication in Packet Switched Networks: Destination Buffering Considerations
In this paper we consider the problem of sending a stream of data (speech, for example) through a packet-switched network which introduces variable source-to-destination delays for different packets of the stream. Ideally, this delay difference should be smoothed so as to preserve the continuity of the stream. We investigate an adaptive destination buffering scheme which may be used to achieve ...
متن کاملRiparian deforestation, stream narrowing, and loss of stream ecosystem services.
A study of 16 streams in eastern North America shows that riparian deforestation causes channel narrowing, which reduces the total amount of stream habitat and ecosystem per unit channel length and compromises in-stream processing of pollutants. Wide forest reaches had more macroinvertebrates, total ecosystem processing of organic matter, and nitrogen uptake per unit channel length than contigu...
