Stream restoration goals include reducing erosion and increasing hyporheic exchange to promote biogeochemical processing and improve water quality. Suspended fine particles (<100 µm) exchange with transient storage areas near and within streambeds and banks. Fine particle deposition and retention directly impact carbon and nutrient cycling by supporting benthic and hyporheic metabolism, but accumulation of fine-particle deposits can impair metabolism by burying benthic biofilms and reducing streambed permeability. Little is known on how fine particle dynamics respond to stream restoration. We analyzed the transport and retention of water and fine particles at both the reach- and local-scale in a restored urban stream,...
ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
