Rebecca Oester : Disentangling how riparian forests shape trophic interactions in detritus-based stream food webs

Authors Rebecca Oester, Florian Altermatt and Andreas Bruder take a cold dip into Riparian forests and how they influence trophic interactions. In this blog post, lead author Rebecca, a PhD student at the University of Zurich, EAWAG and SUPSI Switzerland, shares insight behind their paper: “Riparian forests shape trophic interactions in detrital stream food webs”. She explains just how fascinating (and important!) freshwater and terrestrial … Continue reading Rebecca Oester : Disentangling how riparian forests shape trophic interactions in detritus-based stream food webs

Chen Ye: Active revegetation does not impact nitrogen removal efficiency in a riparian zone

In this new post, Dr. Chen Ye—a Professor of Ecology at Wuhan Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China—discusses her recently accepted paper, “Soil denitrification rates are more sensitive to hydrological changes than restoration approaches in a unique riparian zone”. About the paper The riparian zone is defined as the aquatic-terrestrial interface. This zone can improve water quality by removing nitrogen via denitrification processes. The … Continue reading Chen Ye: Active revegetation does not impact nitrogen removal efficiency in a riparian zone
