Assessment of the role of preferential lateral inflows as biogeochemical hotspots along Mediterranean river networks (HOTSPOT)

HOTSPOT

la-investigadora-anna-lupon-fent-treball-de-camp
This research project aims to evaluate the role of lateral inflows and see which can be considered "hot spots" due to their great influence on the biogeochemical processes taking place in rivers.

We investigate the responses of cyclic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) processes in Mediterranean river networks and evaluate the role of preferential lateral inputs as biogeochemical hot spots.
