Upscaling river biomass using dimensional analysis and 3 hydrogeomorphic scale - invariance

چکیده
8 [1] We propose a methodology for upscaling biomass in a 9 river using a combination of dimensional analysis and 10 hydro-geomorphologic scaling laws. We first demonstrate 11 the use of dimensional analysis for determining local scaling 12 relationships between Nostoc biomass and hydrologic and 13 geomorphic variables. We then combine these relationships 14 with hydraulic geometry and streamflow scaling in order to 15 upscale biomass from point to reach-averaged quantities. The 16 methodology is demonstrated through an illustrative example 17 using an 18 year dataset of seasonal monitoring of biomass of 18 a stream cyanobacterium (Nostoc parmeloides) in a northern 19 California river.

متن کاملMapping and Analyzing Stream Network Changes in Watonwan River Watershed, Minnesota, USA
Much of the Watonwan River tributary system to the upper Mississippi River basin (UMR), and the fluvial systems to which it drains, are listed as impaired under the United States Environmental Protection Agency Clean Water Act303(d) and/or by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. In addition, eutrophic conditions and excessive sedimentation rates exist in Lake Pepin, a riverine lake to which ...
متن کاملPlant Species Indicators of Physical Environment in Great Lakes Coastal Wetlands
Plant taxa identified in 90 U.S. Great Lakes coastal emergent wetlands were evaluated as indicators of physical environment. Canonical correspondence analysis using the 40 most common taxa showed that water depth and tussock height explained the greatest amount of species-environment interaction among ten environmental factors measured as continuous variables (water depth, tussock height, latit...
متن کاملAnalysis of Flood Hydraulic in Alluvial Fan River using CCHE2D Case Study: (Roodan River)
In this study the advantages and importance of a numerical model to predict and monitor the processes governing hydraulic changes alluvial fan river is discussed. For this reason and because of the importance of flow velocity and shear stresses resulting from the erosion of the river, A two-dimensional numerical model to simulate the CCHE2D river changes ranging from Roodan River is used. In th...
متن کاملHot spots and hot moments of carbon and nitrogen dynamics in a semiarid riparian zone
[1] Riparian ecosystems are characterized by spatial and temporal heterogeneity in physical and biological attributes, with consequences for nutrient cycling. We investigated the responses of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling processes to the hydrogeomorphic template in the riparian zone of the San Pedro River, Arizona, a large (catchment area !11,500 km), free-flowing, semiarid river. Over a...
