Abstract: Recent laboratory studies demonstrated that small-scale fluid motion mediates phytoplankton physiological responses. We have investigated to what extent the laboratory studies are consistent with field measurements in a ...

Abstract: Laboratory and field studies were conducted to elucidate heavy metal removal by three wetland grasses and sediments in storm water detention pond. The removal of heavy metals including Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn was mediated by ...

Abstract: The interaction between fluid dynamics and microbiological organisms is an integral aspect of aquatic ecosystems that has received only sporadic attention over the years. The effects of fluid motion on bacterial growth ...

Abstract: This study examined two key aspects of reactive transport modeling for stream restoration purposes: the accuracy of the nutrient spiraling and transient storage models for quantifying reach-scale nutrient uptake, and the ...

Abstract: Traditionally, dissolved oxygen (DO) fluxes have been calculated using the thin-film theory with DO microstructure data in systems characterized by fine sediments and low velocities. However, recent experimental evidence ...
