The role of the HYPOrheic zone on the transporter-transformer functions of River corridors.
Reactive substances transported in river corridors undergo several transformations having important implications for the fate of toxic chemicals and the health of fluvial ecosystems. Delivery of substances into the slow and geochemically-microbially rich hyporheic zone delays their downstream transport and promotes opportunities for biogeochemical reactions. The resulting delay and reactivity at larger scales are shaped by the ubiquitous heterogeneity of environmental porous media and the temporal fluctuations that typify river corridors which control transport and mixing limitations in the reactive regions of the hyporheic zone. However, the most widespread upscaling pictures neglect these…
