Abstract: <p>Increases in flooding due to anthropogenic influences such as climate change and reservoir creation will undoubtedly impact aquatic ecosystems, affecting physical, chemical, and biological processes. We used two approaches to study these impacts: a whole-ecosystem reservoir flooding experiment and a systematic literature review. In the whole-ecosystem experiment, we analyzed the impact… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): D'Amario, Sarah, Thesis advisor (ths): Xenopoulos, Marguerite A, Degree committee member (dgc): Metcalfe, Robert A, Degree committee member (dgc): Eimers, Catherine, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Stream solutes are strongly linked to hydrology, and as such, we sought to better understand how hydrology, particularly flooding, influences nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) levels. We used a long-term dataset of monthly water quality samples for many Ontario, Canada, catchments to assess the effects of landscape variables, such as land use and physiography, on the export of nutrients… more
