Título: | Changes ni stream discahrge and solute dynamics between hillslope and valley-bottom intermittent streams. |
Autor: | Bernal, Susana CSIC ORCID ; Sabater, Francesc CSIC ORCID | Fecha de publicación: | 2012 | Editor: | European Geosciences Union | Citación: | Hydrology and Earth System Sciences 16(6) : 1595-1605 (2012) | Resumen: | To gain understanding on how alluvial zones modify water and nutrient export from semiarid catchments, we compared monthly discharge as well as stream chloride, carbon, and nitrogen dynamics between a hillslope catchment and a valley-bottom catchment with a well-developed alluvium. Stream water and solute fluxes from the hillslope and valley-bottom catchments showed contrasting patterns between hydrological transitions and wet periods, especially for bio-reactive solutes. During transition periods, stream water export decreased >40 % between the hillslope and the valley bottom coinciding with the prevalence of streamto-aquifer fluxes at the alluvial zone. In contrast, stream water export increased by 20–70 % between the hillslope and valley-bottom catchments during wet periods. During transition periods, stream solute export decreased by 34– 97 % between the hillslope and valley-bottom catchments for chloride, nitrate, and dissolved organic carbon. In annual terms, stream nitrate export from the valley-bottom catchment (0.32 ± 0.12 kg N ha −1 yr −1 [average ± standard deviation]) was 30–50 % lower than from the hillslope catchment (0.56 ± 0.32 kg N ha −1 yr −1 ). The annual export of dissolved organic carbon was similar between the two catchments (1.8 ± 1 kg C ha −1 yr −1 ). Our results suggest that hydrological retention in the alluvial zone contributed to reduce stream water and solute export from the valley-bottom catchment during hydrological transition periods when hydrological connectivity between the hillslope and the valley bottom was low. | Descripción: | 11 páginas, 4 figuras, 2 tablas. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.5194/hess-16-1595-2012 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/57785 | DOI: | 10.5194/hess-16-1595-2012 | ISSN: | 1027-5606 | E-ISSN: | 1607-7938 |
