Disrupted carbon cycling in restored and unrestored urban streams: Critical timescales and controls
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Limnology and Oceanography"
DOI: 10.1002/lno.10613
Abstract: Carbon fixation and respiration in flowing waterways play significant roles in global and regional carbon budgets, yet how land use and watershed management interact with temporal disturbances (storms) to influence metabolism remains poorly understood. Here,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gecco.2020.e01288
Abstract: Abstract Although channelized urban streams provide aesthetic and economic value, they reduce biodiversity and alter the habitats of aquatic organisms. Spur dikes not only prevent the erosion of riverbanks, but also generally improve aquatic habitats.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jtherbio.2021.103047
Abstract: Urbanization changes the thermal profile of streams in much the same way that climate change is predicted to with higher temperatures, more varied flow and rapid temperature pulses with precipitation events. Whether exceptional tolerance to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00288330.2020.1753787
Abstract: ABSTRACT National assessments have highlighted that urban streams have some of the poorest water quality in New Zealand, yet there has been no analysis focussing on these streams. In this study we defined urban streams… read more here.
