#Introduction

I'm a PhD candidate at the Kansas Geological Survey & University of Kansas studying non-perennial streams, carbon cycling, and biogeochemistry. Interested in ecosystem ecology, hydrology, rstats, and data viz. I’ll mostly post about non-perennial streams, aquatic ecology, fieldwork, and reproducible science.

You can see how Sydney has sprawled out east across sandstone (pastel green) and shale (emerald green) to Camden and Penrith, and onto an alluvial floodplain (brown) to Richmond.

Sandstone-derived soils are typically nutrient-poor, while soils derived from shale are generally more fertile. This difference comes down primarily to mineralogy: sandstone is composed mostly of quartz, a chemically inert mineral that releases virtually no nutrients as it weathers. Shale, by contrast, is rich in clay minerals and often contains organic matter, releasing a much broader range of plant-available nutrients as it breaks down.

Additionally, the coarser, sandier texture of sandstone-derived soils creates larger pore spaces, which allows water to drain rapidly and leach whatever nutrients are present deeper into the profile and out of reach of plant roots.

Hydrologic studies are often concerned with describing long-term patterns of a hydrologic system as a whole, i.e., hydrologic regimes. Hydrologic regimes, such as seasonal thermal regimes (e.g., snowmelt, atmospheric, groundwater, reservoir), dominant process classifications (e.g., anthropogenic inputs of synthetic chemicals, nutrients, or salinity), runoff and infiltration regimes (e.g., precipitation whiplash, subsurface water storage, pre/post wildfire), and streamflow regimes, are often key determinants of ecological responses and human uses and can be determined by a combination of natural and anthropogenic factors. Recent research has taken the approach of predicting hydrologic regimes explicitly, with further applications in variability analysis or modeling. We invite contributions that build on observations or models to quantify, predict, and apply the regimes of hydrologic systems, improving our ability to conceptualize, quantify, or predict hydrologic behaviors. Studies that investigate biodiversity and ecological responses to hydrologic regimes are also encouraged.
