The interactions between sediments and water by Brian Kronvang, Jadran Faganeli, Nives Ogrinc

By Brian Kronvang, Jadran Faganeli, Nives Ogrinc

This publication specializes in sediments as a pollutant in usual freshwater and marine habitats, and as a vector for the move of chemical compounds akin to nutrition and contaminants. Sediment-water study is conducted around the globe inside of quite a few disciplines.

Introduction Stream processes modify nutrient concentrations during downstream transport (Meyer & Likens, 1979). , estuaries, wetlands, lakes). Webster and Patten (1979) introduced the concept of ‘nutrient spiralling’ to explain nutrient movement in lotic ecosystems. As a nutrient atom enters a stream, it is cycled through biotic and abiotic compartments while being transported downstream. The combination of these uptake and longitudinal transport processes, thus resemble a spiral. The distance a nutrient molecule travels while completing a cycle through the biotic and abiotic compartments is called the ‘spiralling length’ (S) (Newbold, Elwood, O’Neill, & Winkle, 1981) and is commonly measured as the uptake length (Sw) (Stream Solute Workshop, 1990).
