DOI: 10.1016/j.ecss.2019.04.001
Abstract: Abstract Bioturbation (i.e. particle reworking and bio-irrigation) is a key process in benthic coastal and estuarine ecosystems, and act as crucial control on important ecosystem functions, such as nutrient cycling. Particle reworking and bio-irrigation are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2016.04.024
Abstract: Abstract Hydrologic connectivity has received great attention recently as our conceptual models of watersheds and water quality have evolved in the past several decades. However, the structural complexity of most temperate watersheds (i.e. connections among… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/science.aaw2087
Abstract: River restoration guided by research Human activities have altered the flow regimes of many of Earth's rivers, with negative impacts on biodiversity, water quality, and ecological processes. In a Review, Palmer and Ruhi explain how… read more here.
