Food Web Structure in a Harsh Glacier-Fed River
Glacier retreat is occurring across the world, and associated river ecosystems are expected to respond more rapidly than those in flowing waters in other regions. The river environment directly downstream of a glacier snout is characterised by extreme low water temperature and unstable channel sediments but these habitats may become rarer with widespread glacier retreat. In these extreme enviro...
متن کاملEstimation of Cadmium and Uranium in a stream sediment from Eshtehard region in Iran using an Artificial Neural Network
Considering the importance of Cd and U as pollutants of the environment, this study aims to predict the concentrations of these elements in a stream sediment from the Eshtehard region in Iran by means of a developed artificial neural network (ANN) model. The forward selection (FS) method is used to select the input variables and develop hybrid models by ANN. From 45 input candidates, 13 and 14 ...
متن کاملSediment-moss interactions on a temperate glacier: Falljökull, Iceland
This paper presents the results of preliminary investigations of globular moss growth on the surface of Falljökull, a temperate outlet glacier of the Vatnajökull ice cap, Southern Iceland. Supraglacial debris has provided a basis for moss colonisation and several large (>500m) patches of moss growth (Racomitrium spp.) are observed on the surface of the glacier. Each area of moss-colonised supra...
متن کاملMicro- and meiobiota patterns in glacier driven stream habitats
Glacier-fed rivers are among the most sensitive and endangered habitat types nowadays. Their upper reaches are located within areas of economic interest (e.g. skiing and glacier skiing, hydropower generation), but also within protected areas such as, for example, National Parks worldwide (e.g. Hohe Tauern, Pyrenees, Rocky Mountains). The majority of glacial river studies has focused on the macr...
متن کاملSediment size and nutrients regulate denitrification in a tropical stream
Landuse changes might alter N cycling in tropical aquatic ecosystems, but understanding of N cycling in tropical streams is limited. We measured actual and potential denitrification rates during the dry season in Rı́o Las Marı́as, a 4-order Andean piedmont stream in Venezuela. Our objectives were to describe spatial and temporal variation in denitrification, quantify the effects of nutrient avail...
