Anthropogenic Legacies: How Riparian Soils Respond to Human Disturbance

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

This study investigates the physical, biogeochemical, and microbial characteristics of novel anthropogenic soils that have accumulated in the valley bottoms of the mid-Atlantic U.S. due to the coupled effects of…

Saturated, Suffocated, and Salty: Hotspots of Dissimilatory Nitrate Reduction in Anoxic Riparian Soils

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

Riparian soils above low-head dams (milldams) usually contain large amounts of bioavailable nitrogen that could impair the adjacent streams if it becomes mobilized. This project investigates the origin of the…

When Sea-Level Rise Threatens Coastal Wetlands, Don’t Look to Rivers For Help, Scientists Say

 800 450 Stroud Water Research Center

Building up wetlands that are drowning under rising oceans remains a challenge, but scientists are now one step closer to identifying solutions.

Will Removing Thousands of Old Milldams Across the Northeast Help or Hurt Streams?

 800 450 Stroud Water Research Center

Stroud Center scientists have been assessing how milldams affect the filtering capacity of streams and whether their removal affects water quality. 

Low-Head Milldams as Hotspots for Denitrification and Nitrogen Consumption: Hydrologic and Biogeochemical Controls

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

As dam removal has increased in recent years in an effort to improve fish habitat and reduce financial liability, few studies have addressed the consequences of these removals for water…
