TL;DR: Whether or not obtaining high-resolution UAS imagery was advantageous for identifying an intermittent stream network was determined by comparing it with coarse-scale satellite imagery collected for the same purpose, and insight into the advantages and disadvantages of deploying a UAS for this kind of research is provided.

TL;DR: In this paper, the ability of a semi-distributed hydrological model, the PDMROF configuration of Environment Canada's MESH model, was tested to determine if it could simulate contributing area.

TL;DR: In this paper, topographic indicators were designed to represent topographically regulated hydrological processes that influence biogeochemical export to surface water on forested landscapes, and the differences in longterm average annual dissolved organic carbon (DOC), organic and inorganic nitrogen [NO3−-N, dissolved organic nitrogen (DON)], and phosphorus (total dissolved phosphorus, TDP) export from catchments in the Algoma Highlands of Ontario, Canada, with similar climate, geology, forest and soil were established.

TL;DR: This critical review synthesizes the state of the science about the watershed-scale effects of non-floodplain wetlands on nutrient-based (nitrogen, phosphorus) water quality and outlines research recommendations that will improve the scientific understanding of how NFWs affect downstream water quality.

TL;DR: Overall, this study suggests that fluvial CO2 emissions are unlikely to be sensitive to altered fire regimes, but that warming and permafrost thaw will increase emissions significantly.
