Salt marshes are highly productive intertidal wetlands providing important ecological
services for maintaining coastal biodiversity, buffering against oceanic storms, and acting as …

Streams and rivers form dense networks, shape the Earth's surface and, in their sediments,
provide an immensely large surface area for microbial growth. Biofilms dominate microbial …

In rivers, small and lightweight microplastics are transported downstream, but they are also
found frequently in riverbed sediment, demonstrating long-term retention. To better …

The time that water takes to travel through the terrestrial hydrological cycle and the critical
zone is of great interest in Earth system sciences with broad implications for water quality …

Driven by the need for integrated management of groundwater (GW) and surface water
(SW), quantification of GW–SW interactions and associated contaminant transport has …

In this study, the infiltration behavior of 21 microplastic particles with different densities,
diameters, and shapes was investigated using columns of glass spheres with different grain …

Atmospheric concentrations of the powerful greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N 2 O) have
increased dramatically over the last 100 years, and part of these emissions come from …

Previously regarded as the passive drains of watersheds, over the past 50 years, rivers have
progressively been recognized as being actively connected with off‐channel environments …

Stream temperature is one of the most critical factors controlling aquatic ecosystem health.
Practitioners and researchers from a range of fields, including biology, ecology, hydrology …

Environmental transitions often result in resource mixtures that overcome limitations to
microbial metabolism, resulting in biogeochemical hotspots and moments. Riverine systems …
