Forest management guidelines are designed to protect water quality from unintended effects
of land use changes such as timber harvest, mining, or forest road construction. Although …

Freshwater ecosystems play a key role in the global carbon cycle by collecting, transporting,
and processing a significant portion of global organic carbon. These processes can be …

Droughts are recognized to impact global biogeochemical cycles. However, the implication
of desiccation on in-stream carbon (C) cycling is not well understood yet. We subjected …

Water availability is a fundamental driver of biogeochemical processing in highly dynamic
ecosystems such as intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), which are recognized …

Deforestation can lead to severe losses of soil nutrients. However, the impacts of the slope
morphology and position on the spatial distributions of soil nutrients after deforestation and …

The significance of intermittent streams in nutrient loss within forest ecosystems is becoming
increasingly critical due to changes in precipitation patterns associated with global climate …

Estimation of hydrological processes and water quality is central to water resource
management, clean water supply, environmental protection, and ecological services [1, 2] …

Pathogenic contamination is a significant factor contributing to the degradation of surface
water both globally and within the United States. This leads to negative economic impacts …

[eng] Water availability is the primary driver of dissolved organic matter (DOM) dynamics in
intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES). Therefore, current research manifests the …

Erosion of public hiking trails is a key management issue in Vermont. Previous studies have
suggested a link between outdoor recreational land use, soil erosion, and diminished …
