Modelling degradation and recovery dynamics of environmental stressors during low flow, desiccation and rewetting periods for micro-and mesoscale catchments (A14)

Subject Area Hydrogeology, Hydrology, Limnology, Urban Water Management, Water Chemistry, Integrated Water Resources Management
Term since 2021
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 426547801
 

Project Description

A14 will contribute to MH 1.1 and develop innovative analysis methods for event-based (short-term) and chronical (long-term) stressors related to low flow, desiccation, and rewetting periods in streams. It will focus on modelling water flow, temperature, oxygen and salinity stressor interactions in the Emscher and Kinzig catchments. Ecohydrological indicators will be derived and shared with collaborating subprojects in Species Distribution Models (SDMs) and meta-community models.
