Abstract
Biogeochemistry is hosting this special thematic issue devoted to studies of land–water interactions as part of the Largescale Biosphere–Atmosphere Experiment in Amazônia LBA This compilation of papers covers a broad range of topics with a common theme of coupling land and water processes across pristine and impacted systems Findings highlighted that hydrologic flowpaths are clearly important across basin size and structure in determining how water and solutes reach streams Landuse changes have pronounced impacts on flowpaths and subsequently on stream chemistry from small streams to large rivers Carbon is produced and transformed across a broad array of fluvial environments and wetlands Surface waters are not only driven by but provide feedback to the atmosphereThe authors gratefully acknowledge the NASA LBAECO Synthesis Integration and Modeling projects CD33 JR AK MB ND11 MJ and ND30 ED The authors acknowledge support from NASA Grant NNG06GE98A JR NASA Grants NNX08AF63A and NNX11AF20G ED FAPESP Grants 03/131722 and 08/580899 AK and MB and NSERC Grant RGPIN 36656509 MJ This is UW River Systems Research Group Publication 157
