High-frequency water quality measurements in streams and rivers have expanded scope sophistication during the last two decades. Existing technology allows situ automated of constituents, including both solutes particulates, at unprecedented frequencies from seconds to subdaily sampling intervals. This detailed chemical information can be combined with hydrological biogeochemical processes, bringing new insights into sources, transport pathways, transformation processes particulates complex catchments along aquatic continuum. Here, we summarize established emerging high-frequency technologies, outline key hydrochemical data sets, review scientific advances focus areas enabled by rapid development rivers. Finally, discuss future directions challenges for using bridge management gaps promoting a holistic understanding freshwater systems catchment status, health, function.

Abstract Global warming can change the freeze‐thaw cycles (FTCs) in seasonally frozen ground and influence soil water conservation. This study employed an enhanced SWAT‐FT (Soil Water Assessment Tool‐FTCs) model to explore effects of different future climate scenarios on FTCs, hydrothermal dynamics, erosion Upper Mississippi River Basin (UMRB), a typical black region with ground. Results suggested that could more representatively simulate dynamics compared SWAT. The simulations revealed temperature 0–100 cm layers UMRB increase by approximately 2°C–4°C during FTCs period under SSP5‐8.5 mid late 21st century, decreasing freezing days (FD) even absence some southern zones, but FD for central zones. These changes were affected air temperature, content, snow cover, resulting three dominant response patterns global UMRB, which lag symmetric northern non‐symmetric rapid alterations due exacerbated early spring after 2.3 times 2071–2100 baseline scenario (1985–2014).

Abstract Peat accumulation in high latitude wetlands represents a natural long-term carbon sink, resulting from the cumulative excess of growing season net ecosystem production over non-growing (NGS) mineralization soils. With latitudes experiencing warming at faster pace than global average, especially during NGS, major concern is that enhanced soil organic will steadily increase CO 2 emissions northern peatlands. In this study, we conducted laboratory incubations with soils boreal and temperate peatlands across Canada. were pretreated for different moisture levels, rates measured 12 sequential temperatures, covering range − 10 to + 35 °C including one freeze–thaw event. On peat samples increased more sharply temperature samples. For same temperature, optimum levels higher flooded sites. However, standard reaction kinetics (e.g., Q coefficient Arrhenius equation) failed account apparent lack dependence below 0 °C, sudden after freezing Thus, caution against using simple kinetic expressions represent peatlands, regarding long NGS period multiple freeze thaw events.

Abstract Peatlands are important ecosystems that store approximately one third of terrestrial organic carbon. Non-growing season carbon fluxes significantly contribute to annual budgets in peatlands, yet their response climate change is poorly understood.

Abstract The impacts of climate change-induced warming on our ecosystems can no longer be neglected, but understanding consequences for groundwater in general and quality particular is alarmingly incomplete. In this review, we therefore provide an overview the current state knowledge related to impact global precious resources. Groundwater shallow aquifers closely associated with increasing average land surface temperatures has already reached + 1 K compared pe-industrial times. Until end twenty-first century, temperature increases local up 10 are possible. Monitoring data, laboratory field experiments all evidence that such sufficient substantially modify through numerous interlinked biogeochemical processes, which have summarized a conceptual overview. Warming highly site-specific spatially heterogeneous, complicates their assessment prediction. Locally, unconfined nutrient-rich floodplain most susceptible warming-induced changes. Importantly, processes affecting water not only modified by long-term rise temperatures, also short-term during weather extremes, great relevance riverbank filtration. At regional scale, cold regions impacted permafrost thawing especially vulnerable warming. As majority temperature-sensitive or very slowly reversable, pressingly require comprehensive mechanistic before it too late develop suitable countermeasures management strategies.
