The role of water exchange between a stream channel and its hyporheic zone in nitrogen cycling at the terrestrial-aquatic interface
Triska FJ, Duff JH, Avanzino RJ. 1993. The role of water exchange between a stream channel and its hyporheic zone in nitrogen cycling at the terrestrial-aquatic interface. Hydrobiologia: The International Journal on Limnology and Marine Sciences. 251:167-184
Little Lost Man Creek in Redwood National Park is the study site for this investigation of nutrient interactions within a stream. Injection of a solution which included a tracer was one of the methods used to investigate the relationship between the stream channel and the terrestrial riparian zone. The study particularly examined chemical processes involving nitrogen: the hydrologic exchanges, biotic processes, and lithologic controls. Includes drawings of the stream-riparian ecotone, solute graphs, equations used in the injection studies, additional data tables and graphs, and a conceptual model of nitrogen cycling at Little Lost Man Creek resulting from the study.
