Intense summer floods may induce prolonged increases in benthic respiration rates of more than one year leading to low river dissolved oxygen

Intense summer floods may induce prolonged increases in benthic respiration rates of more than one year leading to low river dissolved oxygen

The supply of readily-degradable organic matter to river systems can cause stress to dissolved oxygen (DO) in slow-flowing waterbodies. To explore this threat, a multi-disciplinary study of the River Thames (UK) was undertaken over a six-year period (2009–14). Using a combination of observations at...
