متن کاملPhysical and Chemical Characteristics of the Hyporheic Zone of a Sonoran Desert Stream
The hyporheic zone of three reaches of Sycamore Creek, Arizona consisted of an average 63 cm depth of predominantly sand or fine gravel (0.5-5 mm). Sediments were highly porous (1923% interstitial space) and interstitial water volume was 3-4 times that of surface water. Spatial distribution of temperature, sediment organic matter, interstitial nutrients, and subsurface oxygen indicate that phys...
